Peter Yealands Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Review
Yelands Estate is a pioneer in sustainable grape growing and winemaking. They are located in the Awatere Valley, a sub-region of Marlborough, New Zealand. The Awatere Valley is near the coast, where the cool breezes moderate the growing season. This is an excellent value Sauvignon Blanc, with aromas that include lemon custard, lime zest, passion fruit, and a hint of fresh cut grass. The texture is bright and medium-bodied, with very bright citrus fruit flavors and a clean, soft finish. This is everything you could want in a value-priced New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
