Rochfort Rees

Rochfort Rees Sauvignon Blanc Awatere VAlley - Single Vineyard 2013 13.5%
Plenty of impact here with a grassy and herbaceous attack - vegetal too with a green bell-pepper note; the fruit expression centers around some tropical and citrus suggestion - not high impact.
On the palate - dry and immediately the same as the nose suggest - grassy, herbal and vegetal - no doubt a specific expression of SB - one that only pushes a few buttons for me.
Overall a style that would suit gazpacho soup and even shallot-laced fresh oysters.
