TASTING NOTES FOR Konrad Single Estate Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2023
🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with light green hues. Bright and vibrant, showing classic Marlborough freshness and clarity.
👃 Aromas
Lifted and expressive, with gooseberry, grapefruit and nettle leading the nose. Layers of exotic fruits, subtle spice and flinty mineral notes add complexity.
👅 Palate
Rich and punchy yet beautifully balanced. Citrus, passionfruit and tropical fruit flavours flow across the palate, supported by a smooth texture and vibrant acidity.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Textural and mouth-filling with a refined, rounded feel. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering citrus, mineral freshness and a subtle savoury edge.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with an organic edge—vibrant, aromatic and fruit-driven, yet showing added texture and complexity. Combines new-world intensity with a slightly more refined, old-world influence.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, fresh seafood, goat’s cheese, salads or asparagus dishes. Also excellent with light Asian cuisine.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously vibrant Sauvignon Blanc—zesty, textural and full of flavour.
Perfect for mixed dozens and a standout Marlborough white that always delivers.
Cheers
