Matua Valley 2008 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough Estate Series Paretai

WS 92pts. - This jazzy white is generous with its grapefruit, pear and fresh herb aromas and flavors, mingling on the juicy, lively finish. Particularly distinctive for the balance of citrus and stone fruit, along with the harmonious finish. Drink now. - Tasting Notes - Pale straw with green hues, the nose is intense, with aromas of papaya and tropical fruits, interlaced and underpinned with crisp citrus and mineral notes. The palate is rich and full, an explosion of tropical fruits almost viscous in intensity, complexed by typical Marlborough sweat and minerality, all corralled into order by classical Marlborough acidity, lingering crisply on the finish.
