Meinert La Barry Sauvignon Blanc 2011
The La Barry has delicate floral fruit with underlying grassier tones, but is gentle enough to keep coming back for another glass.

MM's first white here is bone-dry blnd ex Elgin, Groeneklf grapes; preview 08 offers fresh, well-defined guava, granadilla aromas interwoven with lemongrass. Moderate 13% alc, gd intensity & length. (Platter 2009) The La Barry sauvignon blanc is the refreshing outcome of a promise made by Martin Meinert to his bride on their wedding day. The wine is crisp and lively, yet elegant, just the way Leigh Ann likes it. Great, I would say from a specialist red winemaker!! This wine was launched as a wedding gift to my wife, Leigh Ann Barry. She enjoys Sauvignon blancs with "drama", but I have tired of harsh, green Sauvignon blanc and therefore tried to steer a middle course. "La Barry" has delicate floral fruit with underlying grassier tones, but is gentle enough to keep coming back for another glass.
