Eaton Awatere Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Marlborough

An enticing bouquet with aromas of salty air, savoury dried herbs and a core of fruit. Complex and enticing. On the palate - crisp, salty, tense, refreshing, fruity and dry. Flavours of grapefruit and peach, apple and quince. Dried herb and crushed stone minerality. The one persistent flavour is lemon, the one persistent texture is a chalky mineral laced stone and the salt lick induces a salivation that enhances the minerality. Aperitif style, but I suspect really good with oysters and seafood. Best drinking from purchase and through 2024.
