Jackson Estate 'Grey Ghost' Barrique Sauvignon Blanc 2018, Wairau Valley, Marlborough
A striking bouquet with scents of gooseberry and lemon, barrel spice and ferment characters of pith and sweet cashew butter then vanilla and baked stone fruit suggestions. A vibrant texture from the acidity and fruit spice, lees and mineral qualities wake up the palate to flavours of lemon and peach, fresh red apple and grapefruit. There’s a floral side to the wine too with a white blossom suggestion. I found this wine to drink best at around 12 degrees celsius so don’t be afraid to do the same. A long satin finish and persistent flavours offer this wine for best drinking from 2022 through 2028+
