Greenhough Sauvignon Blanc from NZ

Many wines to talk about in this Holiday season but one really attracted my attention: the Greenhough Sauvignon Blanc 2005 from Nelson area in New Zealand. This wine was nicely recommanded by competent employee at Andronicos in SF for $12 something. This is not the place I'm spending a lot of time and money to buy wine because of their more than average price but I have to say that the selection is well done. Usually when someone offers you some help to find a wine in a store it is to sell you expensive ones or those they cannot sell, but I have to mention that this was not the case this time. I know pretty well and appreciate Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs but never tried or heard about those from Nelson area. Well this seams to be less known and this wine especially from a small winery but I really liked it; the citrus accent was not as obvious as in Marlborough whites but the balance, dryness and flavors made it perfect to accompagned oysters and fish dinner. Highly recommended.
