Mantel Blanco Sauvignon Blanc 2006

So all Sauv Blanc tastes the same eh? Grassy, herbal, a touch of the ol'cat's pee. Not this one. Admittedly, this won't be putting Montana out of business anytime soon, its more of a serious food drink. Having been to the new world home of Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough New Zealand, a couple of weeks ago I've got to say that's there is a whole other world out Sauv Blanc out there and this certainly proves that.

Aromas of pineapple, limes and something a bit herbal. On the palate some more pineapple and limes with some passonfruit. Really well balanced with an oily mouth feel and a wack of acid. Quite long finish that tapers off nicely.  Not something that everyone will get, but if you like something a bit off beat give this a go. Also an excellent wine for Thai. 87 Pts.
