One word review: Satisfaction.
Boxed wine never looked so angular.
The Silver Birch Sauvignon Blanc smells full of mouthwatering grapefruit with a little fresh grass. New Zealand, served neat in a snifter (er…perhaps a wine glass.) It tastes along the same lines, grapefruit with some small mineral and grassy notes chiming in. Good body, really fills my mouth. The finish is tart and crisp and sticks around.
This Sauvignon Blanc can please almost anyone, it’s not over the top on the tart citrus, nor is it banished to the nether realms of cat piss and fresh hay. It fits in a nice balanced middle, and hell, you get 3 liters to party with. Boxed wines certainly make it easy.
But boxed wines also make it easy if you only like to occasionally imbibe because they stay sealed, unlike traditional wine bottles. Octavin claims you can enjoy their wines for up to six weeks after opening. Stay tuned, I’ll be investigating.
Available at the Lakeview Wholefoods for $19.99.
