Yealands Estate


Name: Yealands Estate
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Marlborough 
Country: New Zealand
Year: 208
Price: $21,  sale- $7.95
Winery Review:  This aromatic wine show flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.
My Review: On the nose, there were  hints of pepper and other vegetables. The taste of wine was green peppers and lemony. It was an odd taste and I didn't enjoy this wine. Plus, it was a little to crisip and not at all refreshing. 
Food Pairing: None
