The Specially Selected Single Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is an Aldi $8.69 import exclusive. The single New Zealand wine estate is Lismore Wines.
The Story
Lismore Wines is a family-owned winery that looks like they export much of their wine to China; they have a webpage written in Chinese.
Since this is an estate wine and should be similar to their own label wine, it makes sense that their wines are probably not readily available in the US. They get the wine into the US market and do not compete with their own brands.
Aldi’s Specially Selected series of wines features wines from the premier growing regions of the world, but at a value price. They are similar to Trader Joe’s Grand Reserve wines.
These wines are almost always bargains, since they are a cut above the usual wine in the price point.
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc wines are now famous the world over and over the years have gone from bold and exciting to wines of finesse and balance.
The alcohol content is 13%.
The Specially Selected Single Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Tasting Notes
The color is sunshine yellow. The nose leaps out of the glass, the scents reach from a foot or more away, there is melon, pineapple, peach, and pear, tropical fruit, and a spring garden bouquet. The Specially Selected Single Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is properly tasty.
This Sauvignon Blanc tastes like a stew of peach, melon, apple, and pineapple, with tropical fruit, peach, and soft spice, and a hint of stone fruit.
The acidity is well handled.
The Summary
- The Specially Selected Single Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a very good wine.
- It’s easy to sip, and it would pair well with fancy salads and spicy Asian dishes.
- A sub-$10 wine that price is not an indicator of how goow a wine can be.
