Buy OnlineGold Medal – Global Sauvignon Blanc Masters 2023, UK
Another fantastic release, and we have again been offered a great deal on this export targeted Sauvignon Blanc. Aotea represents the very best from the Seifried winemaking team and a quick search will show where it sits in the international market but we continue to be able to offer this delicious Sauvignon Blanc at a very, very attractive price. This has to be one of the best Sauvignon Blanc buys in the shop at present.
The 2023 Aotea Sauvignon Blanc by the Seifried Family is from their Rabbit Island vineyard. It is pungent and tropical, showing notes of snow peas, white flesh peach and passionfruit. Gentle minerally acidity balances the fruit weight and concentration on the palate leaving lingering flavours of passionfruit and citrus.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The 2023 Aotea by Seifried Family Nelson Sauvignon Blanc is punchy and powerful. The nose has melon, passionfruit and a hint of lime while the palate is generous and flavoursome. Lasting tropical summer fruit flavours and hints of bright lemon complement the well balanced natural acidity."
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Pristine and fabulously aromatic, the wine shows rockmelon, Granny Smith apple and kaffir lime aromas, leading to an intensely flavoursome palate offering terrific power and persistency. Bright, pristine and delicious. At its best: now to 2026."
16.5/20 JancisRobinson.com, March 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Green-fruited (kiwi/melon) and refreshing. Crunchy palate with marked acidity. Long, bright finish with a gentle grip."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2022 (2022 Vintage)
"There’s no mistaking the burst of passionfruit then citrus with a layer of fresh basil then mineral on the bouquet. Delicious on the palate, fresh and intense, fruity and herbaceous with flavours that mirror the bouquet. Acidity is intense pushing the citrus flavours and fresh herb qualities. A great summer with best drinking from 2022 through 2025."
