What better way to enjoy the lovely weekend we have coming up, than with a bottle of 2011 Huntaway Reserve Sauvignon Blanc.
The rich clay soils of Marlborough's Lower Wairau Valley don't require irrigation, which gives an uncommon richness to the Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
The wine is very aromatic, with gooseberry fruit flavours and it is an extremely versatile food wine.
This wine is 100 per cent stainless steel fermented to preserve the primary fruit aromas. Light straw in colour, with green highlights, indicate the wine's youthfulness and vibrancy. While this wine can be enjoyed now, it would be rounder and more developed if cellared for a while.
The style is designed to complement a wide range of cuisines and will partner well with fresh goats cheeses and anything involving tomatoes, pears and olives. Try it with a spinach and ricotta tortellini.
The Weekend Sun has a bottle of Huntaway Reserve Sauvignon Blanc for lucky readers who can tell us what kind of metal this wine is fermented in?
