World Wine 2004 Lobster Cove Sauvignon Blanc

East Coast, New Zealand Lobster Cove Sauvignon Blanc typifies the refreshing East Coast white wines of New Zealand, with ripe aromatics, a rich palate and crisp finish. The winemaker is Jason Stent. This is a great summer sipper! Lobster Cove Sauvignon Blanc is yellow-gold in color with tropical aromas of gooseberry, pear, tangerine and lime. Light-medium in body with crisp acidity, the wine offers fruit-forward flavors of gooseberries, passion fruit, apricot and green apples. Easy-going and food-friendly, it has nicely balanced fruit, acidity and sugar, with a clean and refreshing finish. Enjoy Lobster Cove Sauvignon Blanc as an aperitif wine and with steamed lobster, grilled shrimp, mussels, chicken and salads.
