Still very cold in Reading but the snow is beginning to melt - which is the main thing. So tonight I decided to open something that would remind me of some sun!
Flagstone, 'Free Run' Sauvignon Blanc, 2008, South Africa.
Big, crisp, fresh, zingy nose. The nose is full of green pepper - like a salad bowl in a glass! There is some lime coming through too. The green pepper is also dominant on the palate along with some lovely herby notes. Nice crisp acidity and good length. This does what it says on the label - its nice South African Sauvignon Blanc; to be honest it does deliver above its price point. This would be a good inexpensive 'back-up bottle' to always have in the house - just in case! 3.5/5 (12.5% abv) £5.99 Majestic Wine.
