Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc Stellenbosch 2006

Platinum.

Pungent citrus peel, grass, slight jalapeno and some cat piss. Very cool, intense, lifted aromatics. Smells like a NZ SB.

Vibrant, but very light impression in the mouth. Mineral/stone chew on the front teeth. Label says 12% alcohol - funny, as the palate reminds me of Federspiels from Austria. Very precise, driving flavors that mirror the nose.

Great summer wine. Also very useful for re-calibrating your mouth during a big red tasting.


$14
