I am SO excited about this wine – it is the first wine I am tasting from my very first Marketplace order!<br /><br />I gave the bottle a good sniff the second I opened it. I don’t know if I am using the right word, but it just smells CLEAN. I squealed as I sniffed it, prompting my (non-wine drinking) husband to inform me “you’re a weird lady” as he took the dog out for a walk. It smells like the finest crisp, clean Sauvignon, and right now I am really nervous to taste it in case it doesn’t live up to the aroma!<br /><br />But OH. I am so glad I took the plunge to taste! It is just the right amount of acidic, without the burn at the back of the throat that a lot of Sauvignon Blancs give. It is one of the first wines in which I truly understand the meaning of the description “minerality” – without wanting to sound clichéd, if I take a sip of this and close my eyes, I am transported to a clear, cold, clean stream from The Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit – the idea of travelling a long distance (or having a terrible day at work like today), and being refreshed – being able to taste the pebbles in the clear running water.<br /><br />I am so pleased that I have two bottles of this wine, and if this is representative of Dom’s wines, then I picked an amazing Marketplace deal to start with – even if it has given me incredibly high expectations from them!
