Tasting - Whitehaven

 This weeks tasting is on Whitehaven's 2021 Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand This bottle has an average price of $19.99. My source is from Honest Wine Reviews and notes aromas of pineapple, grapefruit, and tomato leaf. Flavor notes were very crisp, and tropical fruits. 

I chilled my bottle for 24 hours before serving it, really bringing out the light and crisp feeling. This sauv was quite fruit forward with light vegetal notes and an earthy hint. The flavors of fruits that I did get larger notes of were grapefruit, pear, peach and citrus. Wine Folly states that Sauvignon blanc is strong with herbaceous flavors that are derived from the methoxypyrazine compounds. (P. 165)
