Country of origin: New Zealand
Wine appellation: Marlborough
Vintage: 2007
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Color: medium yellow
Bouquet: different to standard NZ wines, less of passion fruit rather lime and grass element, white currant, nettle, gooseberry, feels very Pouilly Fumee
Taste: medium body, white grapefruit, white currant, gooseberry,  proper acidity, lime and lemon crust, medium to slightly longer finish

Overall score: 4+8+13+6+7+50=88
Price: CZK 399
Stopper: screw cap
Tasted 7 moths after the last one (end of very nice summer and this time beginning of summer:-)), this wine confirms that the zesty passion fruit Sauv blancs die quickly whereas austere, slightly grassy live longer and develop quite nicely liked this one. This vintage, was tasted (together with 2005 vintage) several times last year.
