2005 Bedford Road Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, N.Z.

[wondersofwine]

13% alcohol
Lots of grapefruit and gooseberry fragrance emanates from the glass. Flavors include lime and grapefruit. Nice as an aperitif or with traditional Sauvignon Blanc pairings. Holding up well for a 2005 Kiwi. Matched very nicely with some mini quiches (Florentine and Lorraine) left over from a church meeting. I thought the spinach in the Florentine mini quiche would pair well with a N.Z. S.B. and it did. I also sipped some during a salad course of tossed salad with dried apricot vinegar dressing.
