TASTING NOTES
International Wine & Spirit Competition 2004 - Bronze
Swiss International Wine Awards 2004 - Seal of approval
Veritas 2003 - Bronze
John Martin Sauvignon Blanc is a specially crafted cuvée, selected on the basis of varietal intensity and character. Aromas of caped gooseberry, citrus blossom and grass abound. A small portion fermented in French oak barriques provides a spicy and uncommon complexity for this varietal. Acidity, so vital to Sauvignon Blanc's appeal, exists in perfect harmony with flavours of lime, fig and pear. The barrel fermentation of the Sauvignon Blanc adds an extra dimension to its complexity, making it an ideal "food" wine.
