Clericus
Wild Sauvignon Blanc
MMXVI
Clark Estate Wines
Marlborough
New Zealand
I was delighted to receive my sponsored wine from New Zealand Wines, especially apt on International Sauvignon Blanc Day!
I tasted the wine with colleagues at the Annual General Meeting of The Association of Wine Educators.
This wine is from the Clark Estate in New Zealand.
It’s a lovely pale straw colour and on the nose there is vibrant notes of grass and gooseberry.
On the palate there is gooseberry and green apple and also a lovely rich mouthfeel from the barrel fermentation. Good acidity keeps the wine fresh and crisp.
