Today is Waitangi Day in New Zealand which is an important date in NZ's history when the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, took place - New Zealand's founding document in 1840. Therefore I thought I'd get reacquainted with an old favourite over the weekend - Wither Hills Sauv Blanc ($12). Enjoy your day off everyone in NZ!
It's a pale lemon colour on the eye with a herbaceous nose mixed with gooseberry and lemongrass. One whiff and it took me back to my university days in Auckland! It's full of flavour and lively on the palate yet not in your face. All these years later and my palate still gets along with this wine well.

@TheSistersWine 2017 Pinot Noir: Here’s a satisfying, value-driven (under $20) Pinot Noir from Marlborough, NZ for everyday drinking. Soft aromas of sweet red fruit, dark berries, and spice are mirrored on the palate. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied, easy-going, and balanced. Enjoy it with grilled burgers, pizza night at home, and more. The label says, “We juggle so many things every day, it’s time to reflect and relax.” And a splash of Pinot is a great way to cap off the night! #PinotNoir #wine #winelover #nzwine — 8 years ago

#pinotgris from #nzwine #martinborough okay overpriced but still lovely and textural. Lots of ripe Granny Smith and green water pears in the nose and palate. Also a bit flinty (screwcap) lemon rind, honey, ripe pineapple...my God as I’m writing this tasting note I’m liking it more and more. Has some Rieslingesque qualities and just a pinch of sweet ripe fruit on the finish — 6 years ago
