2023 "Giunta" Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand
93 Points Wine Orbit
Stella Giunta (pronounced june-tah) was winemaker Daniel Brennan’s mother’s mother, but he knew her as Gram; a 4’10” Sicilian who you could not mess with! She made mean cutlets and always had a pizzelle in the cupboard for the Grandkids. She was one of 8 sisters and a brother, Uncle Joe, who owned a farm not too far away in Vineland, NJ. They worked hard, ate flavorful and comforting food and family was paramount.
This wine is sourced exclusively from New Zealand’s Marlborough region. Tropical notes of pineapple, melon, gooseberry, and pink grapefruit with subtle hints of guava and lychee. On the nose, the subtle aroma of salt air hints at the vineyard’s coastal proximity The palate begins softly, opening up to bright citrus flavors akin to starburst candies, finishing with a refreshing dryness reminiscent of crisp peach. A balanced and nuanced experience, capturing the essence of tropical fruits and the seaside with finesse.
