Giesen Marlb Est Sauvignon Blanc '23

From the stony soils of Marlborough's Wairau Valley, this benchmark Sauvignon Blanc shimmers with a pale green-gold hue. The nose erupts with explosive aromas of passionfruit, lime zest, and freshly cut grass with underlying flinty minerality. The palate delivers razor-sharp precision - flavors of grapefruit pith, jalapeño, and sea spray unfold with electrifying acidity (7.8 g/L TA) that earned unanimous 95-97 point scores. Fermented cold in stainless steel with select yeast strains, this 13% alcohol wine finishes with a mouthwatering salinity that lingers like ocean mist. Serve at 8-10°C with oysters or goat cheese to appreciate its full aromatic spectrum - the 2023 vintage represents the pinnacle of Marlborough's signature style.
