Comment on: Tilia Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Really enjoyed this. It had me giggling which is always a good sign. As with the Pinot Gris, I had no idea what to expect from a Solvenian Sauvignon. The nose offers fresh fruit and peach blossom, and hint of something tart. It's the taste in the palate that set me off - pear drops and peach yoghurt. Unmistakeably... Mrs Tim it has to be said agreed, and she is ALWAYS right. The sweetness of the fruit is well balanced with acidity. Not quite the lip smacking nature of some New World Sauvignon Blanc, but a well rounded does of tartness which is thoroughly pleasant.
As the blurb suggests, well paired with a risotto. The wine cuts through the rich creaminess of the dish.
Will definitely buy again.
