Georg Mosbacher, Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Georg Mosbacher, Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Very light straw colour with a greenish tinge
At first, this smells and tastes overwhelmingly and quite explosively of green berries and fresh green leaves and grass, also grapefruit. After some time, it goes into a Riesling-direction, and unripe peaches and minerality come out more.
Dominated and defined by razor-sharp, but clean and well-integrated acidity, this is a zesty and appetizing wine that friends of straightforward dry Rieslings will enjoy very much. It tastes much lighter than the actual 12.5 % and makes me think of a picknick beside a mountain stream.

Maybe I should drink more Sauvignon blanc. I feel I have not really paid that much attention to this grape recently.
