Ataraxia Sauvignon Blanc 2006
 |
|
BN#241028 |
Painstaking fruit selection and skilled winemaking using excessive amounts of protective dry ice and inert CO2 gas has resulted in Ataraxia's 2006 Sauvignon Blanc seamlessly incorporating the very best that the Old and New World styles have to offer. This wine favours individuality ahead of pure, pungent fruit, but still shows assertive gooseberry, green asparagus and grassy aromas. These are effortlessly reflected on the palate and are complimented by a zesty acidity which underpins a classy structure and texture, culminating in a wine of great poise, length and charm.
Wine Spectator
A real live-wire, with crackling gooseberry, lemon zest, sea salt and floral notes followed by a long, tangy finish. Superdelicious. Drink now. 2,750 cases made.
Score: 91.
