Ra Nui Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2014

I imagine it would be hard to be a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc producer without a really strong brand. Considerable downward pressure on prices in recent years (in Australia at least).

This has a trademark Marlborough style to it but not much else. Grassy gooseberry aromatics, the palate tangy, slightly too sharp and herbaceous, but carrying a swagger of acid driven persistence.

Fair to good. Best drinking: 2015. 16/20, 87/100.

Details: 13%, Screwcap, $28, Sample
Would I buy it? No.

About me – Andrew Graham

At 18 I started working in a small suburban bottleshop, largely to buy cheap beer. It was my first year of university, doing a degree that I didn't really like, and a liquor shop seemed like fun. Needless to say I discovered wine, my uni degree morphed into something completely different and wine/beer took over my life.

Almost twenty years later and I currently spend my days wearing many (wine) hats, mostly as a writer, presenter and marketer.

While wearing my writer cap I write features for the likes of National Liquor News, Gourmet Traveller WINE and the RAS plus I'm a Lifestyle FOOD channel wine expert. Read more about me here or get in touch to book your next wine event with me here.
