Matua Valley "Paretai" Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough NZ 2008

Platinum/water.

Discreet, pure, nose - kiwi, asparagus, lemon/lime.

Deep, ripe, fleshy entry (for NZ SB). But also restrained/minerally in the mouth. Very classy, refined action, with fruit, mineral and green notes all registering equally. This is some seriously GS. There's RS here, but folded in brilliantly. I could drink a bottle myself. Mineral/green herb chew hits the front teeth and won't quit.

$20
