The Winery: Fire Road
The Wine: 2008 Sauvignon Blanc
The Price: $9.99 at Central Market
Fire Road is a New Zealand winery. I don't recall ever reviewing, or even sampling, a wine from New Zealand.
The wine was stopped with a screw cap. It is a very light colored wine, with aromas of apple, grass and a hint of mint. The wine has flavors of flavors of apple, honey and, again, that hint of mint.
This is a really good wine. It's a perfect wine to savor on the porch on a hot summer day. It would pair very nicely with mild fish or a refreshing salad.
This first foray into the wines of New Zealand was a great experience. I'm looking forward to seeing what else they have to offer.
