This is a white wine, of the white grape variety sauvignon blanc, that doesn't seem overly acidic. It is fruity with combinations of lemon, pear, and apple flavors and I could smell the pears coming through in the scent of the wine. As you breathe in after tasting the wine you can detect some herbiness to it as well. It was very refreshing. I believe that it would pair up nicely with some rather salty cheeses and also bread, along with shrimp or another type of seafood, and salads. I did not have any food with this wine though. This was made in Marlborough, in the south island of New Zealand. The year of the wine was 2011. The review of the Vintage Cellar is that it is a juicy and vibrant white, that it delivers spiced pears and apple flavors that have a mouthwatering lemony note. That shades of herb and fresh-cut grass chime in at the finish. To drink now! I on the other hand didn't really detect the "grassy" finish. The herbs were subtle and not overpowering which left you with a nice, fresh taste in your mouth. The cost of this product at the Vintage Cellar was $14.95.
