TASTING NOTES
Pale lime to pale straw in color, this fresh and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc has all the hallmarks of this classic region. Honey melon, freshly cut passion fruit, and wild thyme leap from the glass. The palate has a bright and crunchy acidity that balances the concentration of fruit on the mid-palate. There’s more citrus fruit character than recent vintages, which will serve the drinker well.
FOOD PAIRING – Pair with ceviche, fresh oysters and wild rice salad.

INFAMOUS SAUVIGNON BLANC
Fruit from Marlborough, New Zealand’s mecca for Sauvignon Blanc, takes Infamous Goose Sauvignon Blanc to new heights of pure flavor. One of New Zealand’s sunniest and driest regions, with a relatively cool climate, Marlborough provides a long, slow ripening period that intensifies flavors in the fruit.
The wine is named for the Infamous Goose, a.k.a. the moa, a giant flightless bird that roamed the South Island of New Zealand well before humans appeared. Is the Infamous Goose really extinct? Rumors and legends abound. The only sure thing is this wine.
