Crisp, flinty, mineral, grassy, bell pepper notes. Minerality drives the palate through to a long clean finish. Superstar of a wine

I feel like I'm one of the only Somms who will proudly proclaim their love for NZ Sauvignon Blanc. This is my guilty pleasure. Man o' War Gravestone is one of the sexiest I've tasted. I could drink gallons of this.
