Show Notes
Wine: Marisco 2021 The King’s Favour Sauvignon Blanc $21.99
Why I chose it:
- Tasted blind in a lineup of mostly 2022 Marlb. SB it was a standout (gold medal).
- 2021 much better than 2022.
- SB a great antidote for warm, muggy weather.
What does it taste like?
- Intense, pristine sauvignon blanc from a very favourable vintage. Bright, vibrant wine with passion fruit, capsicum, lemongrass and lime/citrus flavours. Refined wine with a crisp, dry finish.
Why it’s a bargain:
- Only a handful of Marlborough SB reach gold medal quality and if you buy it on special for $18 or $19 it is well below average price.
Where can you buy it?
- $21.99 is the RRP, but you can usually buy for a better price than that, for example: Super Liquor Golden Bay $17.99; Wine Central (Auckland) $18.99
Food match?
- I like it with feta cheese of young parmesan cheese on a cracker. Both cheeses have enough natural acidity to make the wine taste rich and creamy.
Will it keep?
- I quite like four or five year-old Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc but most people prefer it at its freshest best.
