2024 Burnt Ship Bay Sauvignon Blanc | 92pts

Burnt Ship Bay’s Sauvignon Blanc typically sells out in a flash! If this is your kind of white, don’t wait too long to stock up.

92pts, Carl's Wine Club | Gold, All Canadian Wine Championships.

This might be one of the all time best value wines in Carl's Wine Club history! 92 points at $15.95 is an absolute unicorn, and one of the rare wines under $20 with a sense of terroir. Why do I say that? The finish will explain a lot when you try it. 

On the nose, this is super expressive with pure Sauvignon Blanc aromas like grapefruit, papaya, passionfruit, guava, and also a hint of sweet lime. The palate is soft, suptuous, with very defined edges that are filled with energy and layers. Flavours center around tropical fruits like passionfruit and guava, a bit of green apple, and citrus. The mouth feel is dryer than 4.2g/L suggests and draws out the tropical aspects. The finish is all about that special stoney minerality I love from Niagara, with saltiness at the end, and lingers so much longer than I would expect for a $15.95 price point.
