2008 Arona Sauvignon Blanc
Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Marlborough, New Zealand
Food pairing: Red snapper with Thai green curry
After a rather long and drab winter, we're due for a summer full of color, don't you think? Fittingly, Arona is a Maori girl's name meaning "colorful." Not a bad start. Crack that bottle open, and you'll find just as much vibrant character within.Bright, approachable, exuberant, and clean, this wine has been said to mirror its origin, the unspoiled South Island of New Zealand.
Never been there myself, but if the whole place happens to smell like passion fruit, nectarine, pineapple and just a little fresh cut grass, I'm willing to board the plane tomorrow.
