Middle-Earth Sauvignon Blanc 2017, Nelson, South Island, New Zealand: Middle Earth Winery was established originally more than half a century ago as a dairy farm and in 1996 the owners converted to grape farming and launched their first wine in 2012. Middle Earth 2017 is a nod to JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, which was filmed in beautiful New Zealand. And why wouldn't you name a wine after this epic movie that has since generated an estimated $100 million extra revenue in tourism? But the wine is lovely, with softy grassy, herbal, white grapefruit flavours on the palate, softly spiced finishing with a good length and amazingly zesty. Chill and enjoy now with grilled shellfish. Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: chicken and sage skewers, fresh tomato and basil salad, Thai green curry fish, fresh oysters on the half shell with lemon and horseradish.
