Freeman’s Bay
Sauvignon Blanc

(75cl, £5.49 per 75cl)

Zesty, fresh and refreshing, this 100% from New Zealand’s Marlborough region is an example of an excellent vintage and unobtrusive wine-making.

Following pressing the juice was held at 10°c for three days and then made and matured in temperature controlled stainless steel, before bottling under a Stelvin screw-cap some five months following the harvest. The generous nose is packed with ripe gooseberries underpinned by grass and a suspicion of asparagus, all of which follow on the mouth with a surprising length for such a young wine.

Made for drinking now, Freeman’s Bay is a bone dry, aromatic wine that is ideal for serving with fish and seafood cooked with dill or tarragon.

“Freemans Bay Sauvignon Blanc is good value as this New Zealand dry white has grassiness, crisp citrus fruit and a touch of minerality. Try it with seafood”
The Daily Mirror Sept 2009

“This New Zealand white is remarkably good value, easily the equal of Kiwi brans priced much higher”
Western Daily Press August 2009
