We found this gem at our fav grocery store Busch's in the $10 wine aisle. Its normally $19.99 but every week they have wine on sale and hubby and I love to get these as a way to sample nicer wines. We liked this one so much that we think its worth the full $20. Here are the stats:
Winery: Giesen
Type: Sauvignon Blanc
From: Marlborough, NZ
Tasting Notes from their website:
Pale yellow colour with green hues. The aroma is fresh and vibrant with a base of rich tropical fruit but dominated especially when young, by fresh lime and lemongrass aromas as well as a fresh herb note.p.s. that's roasted asparagus and sweet potato gnocchi with rosemary and brown butter (Trader Joes find!) you see in the background.
The palate shows a lovely fruit weight on the mid palate with flavours reminiscent of gooseberry and citrus and this is surrounded by a juicy, pure acidity giving the wine it’s zesty exuberance with a fresh, dry finish.
This is a great wine for the spring season. ENJOY!
