Tasting: The Magistrate Sauvignon Blanc

Name: 2023 The Magistrate Sauvignon Blanc


Variety:
Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Marlborough, New Zealand
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2023
Price: $11.99

Winery Review: Bright and fresh aromas of green grass meld with guava and juicy pear on the palate that is balanced with a crisp green apple acidity. Every sip makes the mouth water for another glass.
Vivino Rating: Unrated


Wine Folly: Pg. 165: Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blanc is a unique and naturally grassy/herbaceous tasting wine. It is high in acidity, and low in tannins, alcohol, and body. It is meant to be served cold and the main tasting notes in a typical Sauvignon Blanc include gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passionfruit.

My Review: Overall, I give it a meh. I am not a huge fan of the grassy/earthy white wines, and I thought it was okay overall. The main tasting notes that I picked up on while tasting is grassy, gravel, white peach, and wet dog at the end there. I didn't think that it was super acidic or have much mouth feel, which was slightly weird.
Tasting Night! Morgan and Me!
