NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc Latitude is a delightful wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Marlborough region in New Zealand.On the nose, expect intense aromas of tropical fruits such as passionfruit, pineapple, and guava. These fruity notes are complemented by hints of freshly cut grass and a touch of herbaceousness, adding complexity to the bouquet.
Flavors of citrus, particularly grapefruit and lime, dominate the palate, providing a tangy and invigorating sensation. There is also a subtle minerality that adds depth and structure to the overall profile.
It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, especially oysters, as well as fresh salads and goat cheese.
