Mount Nelson Sauvignon Blanc

Notes - Mount Nelson represents the culmination of a dream for Lodovico Antinori, from the eponymous Italian wine making dynasty. After production ceased of the celebrated Poggio alle Gazze (a Sauvignon Blanc produced in the 90’s by the Ornellaia Estate, a passion for Sauvignon Blanc has led him to the land where Sauvignon Blanc expresses itself in its purest form - New Zealand. Here with winemaker Helena Lindberg he can indulge his passion and create Sauvignon Blanc in the New World with the heart and soul of the Old World. Bright straw yellow, with hints of pale green The nose is vibrant and classic, as this Sauvignon Blanc was harvested in the cool air of morning to protect the fruit and was then carefully fermented in controlled conditions to capture and retain the essence of the vineyard. The palate is concentrated and seductive with distinctive passion fruit, gooseberry and green apple flavors. These flavors follow through to the richly structured palate that is complex, refreshing and balanced. It has a lingering harmonious finish. The fresh, vibrant nature of Mount Nelson Sauvignon Blanc makes it the ideal accompaniment to grilled oysters, freshly collected scallops and fish, crisp salad greens and alfresco dining. Or just chill and enjoy, an excellent aperitif.
