From the Cellar: Hãhã Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2011 – $

Greenish-gold straw colour. 13.6% alc.

Elegant. Aromas of the usual tomato stalk & gooseberries & sweet limes, but also ginger root and palm sugar.

Softened, buttery and rich in the mouth, with a citrus top note. Focused, with a silky mouthfeel.

A ripping bargain! I wish I had a few more bottles stashed away for the approaching summer…
