Good value for money, crisp, zesty New Zealand white.

When it comes to white wines, I tend to avoid oaky or bland tasting grape varieties. Probably the result of too many company recruitment presentations in college where we drank some awful tasting but free plonk. Students eh?

Anyway, to date, my white tipple of choice has been any New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Babich is a reliable, good value for money, middle of the taste and price range example of this type of wine. Immediately a citrus bouquet, the lime and lemon flavours wake you up. Tropical fruit but definitely not a overly sweet wine. Crisp and fresh, this wine is a blend from vineyards in the Marlborough region.  

As has become commonplace with NZ wines, it comes in a screw top bottle. This is a wine to drink now and enjoy with some good seafood or to sip over an evening relaxing without breaking the bank.
