Wine Maker Review: Nine Walks captures the essence of
Marlborough's magic with fruit sourced from our estate-owned vineyards in the
Wairau Valley and Awatere Valley sub-regions of NZ. The fruit from the Wairau Valley delivers the
more tropical and herbaceous elements, while the fruit from the Awatere Valley
provides a more mineral-infused and restrained streak that gives Nine Walks its
distinct texture and palate weight.
My Review: This Sauvignon Blanc is exactly what I expected
my first from New Zealand to be. It definitely had the strong mineral flavors
with a slight ammonia smell. I liked the earthy aromas as well. When I tasted
it some of the same flavors came through, though there was a nice fruity
element as well. I would definitely try this wine again.
I did not taste this wine with food.
