Staete Landt 2009 Estate Grown Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Winestate Magazine : by Michael Cooper  April 2010

5 stars

This very subtle and satisfying wine was grown at Rapaura and partly barrel-fermented. Bone dry, it is fleshy, with rich, ripe, tropical flavours, crisp and lively, and excellent drive, immediacy and punch.

Light and zippy, a refreshing mouthful of green apple, green mango and lime aromas and flavors, around a core of pear that lasts on the finish. Drink now.

Lovely aromatics, nice passionfruit/tropical notes but also some herby freshness. The palate is concentrated, fresh and precise with grass, grapefruit and pear notes. Good acidity and lovely focus.
