Seifried Sauvignon Blanc

Name:	Seifried Estate (80)
Variety:	Sauvignon Blanc (15)
Producer:	Seifried
Region:	Nelson
I tasted the 1995 vintage of this wine on 01 May 1996 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok.
The colour of this wine was a very light greenish yellow. It showed a grassy tropical dry bouquet. the taste was of soft tropical fruit start, with a crisp finish. This was quite simple, young wine.
I tasted the 2002 vintage of this wine on 04 Jan 2003 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok.
The colour was light-medium pale straw gold. This wine had a medium-dry citrus-lime tropical bouquet. The taste was fruity and clean with a medium-dry start, gooseberry and citrus lemon flavours, and a crisp finish. This was a clean dry fruity style, but lacking true complexity and flavour.

Average (3):

Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
