2005 Neil Ellis, Sauvignon Blanc, Stellenbosch ($14.99 SHWC). Tech data: Alcohol 13%, Residual sugar 2.5 g/litre, TA 6.8 g/litre, pH 3.35, and a screw cap. It is a very well balanced wine with grapes from multiple vineyards. We bought a half box in ’07.
It gives you tropical fruit on the nose and upfront. There is more fruit with herbaceous overtones, and nice acid in the middle. It finished well.
It is still aging nicely. We popped our second to last one tonight, and it was more mature, but not fading. We matched it with baked stuffed haddock, rice pilaf, and salad. We will try to get to last one in the next year or two!
