Seresin Sauvignon Blanc 2007 or 'a reason to drink savvy'

This is just such harmonious stuff. I spent quite a while swishing it around my mouth waiting for the acid to poke out and attack, but it never did! The nose is green but softly so with feijoa and green apple and a suggestion of vanilla somewhere in the background. It's smooth and appealing with really fine acid running through the entirety of the palate and so quite similar to the Cloudy Bay in that respect. The crisp green apple shows up in the mouth along with banana to round things out. If the Seresin Sauvignon Blanc was at a party she would be the pretty girl all the boys wanted to dance with. It has, admittedly, a bit more winemaking thrown at it than most. Reading from the back label tells me that 21 portions of Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Semillon were fermented seperately and that 40% of the wine got wild yeast and 14% spent 4 months in French oak! Pfewph. That's a great deal of winemaking for the usually humble Marlborough Sauvignon but it's all the better for it.
