Tohu Mugwi Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2015

For me the sulphides in this wine totally dominate the initial flavours in the mouth which is a shame because the finish is long, juicy and packed with zesty lime citrus characters. The mouthfeel is rich and rounded. While some will love the sulphide characters I must admit I am not one of them, I do like the textural components this style brings to the wine but for me if the sulphides dominate I don’t enjoy the wine. This is a style that has had some popularity in recent years but I fear it is mainly among winemakers trying to find a point of difference along with wine show judges and wine writers who are looking for something a little different to write about. I think a wine must first and foremost be an enjoyable glass of wine, not something others tell me I should like because it is fashionable. The wine was made using a wild yeast ferment in old oak barrels. Tohu Wines
