Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc

My husband and I are not normally white wine drinkers but when we visited New Zealand we both became hooked and now drink it back home as an aperitif. A wine to suit most tastes - good balance between dry and fruity.

A good example of a New Zealand Malborough that dosen''t cost the earth. Good nose and good taste. The only trouble is that when you open a bottle it is very difficult not to drink it all in one go.

The flavour is very intense and for the money (£5) is as good a bargain as you can get . I bought the max. and will enjoy it provided my daughter does not get there first! I drank it back to back with THE NED (ex waitrose/Majestic) The ned is slightly more complex but not as intense or gooseberryish. If you want a sweeter wine try that, otherwise if you want the authentic NZ S.B. experience go for the Brancott estate. (I did spend 7 weeks down there last year tasting so I think I know.....)

BOTH WINES ENJOYABLE AND EXCELLENT took red to friends they enjoyed also

I have drunk a fair amount of this wine and it does not disappoint !

This is one of my favourite wines, it is soft and fruity, but crisp on the palate without being too dry. Excellent on its own or with food.

Hi love this white, and would definitely reccomend.

A light, refreshingly fruity sauvignon blanc from one of the world's best sources; ideal to accompany fish, salads or just to drink and pretend that summer has arrived.... got to have a few of these in the 'cellar'.

A truly excellent wine. Fantastic fruity flavours that linger and then melt on the tongue. Can be drunk at any time - either on its own or with food. Outstanding!

Surpasses my expectations. This Chardonay deserves full marks for, flavour, body and bouquet. One of the nicest that I have tasted and shared. Well worth the money.

A great tasty Sauvignon Blanc that goes well with most meals and easy to drink!

Very good Sauvignon Blanc - almost as good as Villa Maria ! Serve chilled with salmon or chicken will be good to drink if this fine weather continues.....

Quite restrained New Zealand notes but the refreshing acidity is evident as is the gooseberry aroma

The wine is smooth, flavoursome and enjoyed with all dinner but steak and on its own

In my opinion if you are going to drink Sauvignon Blanc it has to be a New Zealand Sauvignon, preferrably Marlborough. Brancott Estate is up there with the more expensive bottles. Tastes even nicer when you get a special offer at Tesco. Have'nt ever seen it cheaper.

This Sauvignon Blanc is a super, fresh, zesty wine with no slightly bitter after taste that can come with some wines. Brancott Estate wines can be relied on to be good and with the excellent offer that went with this, it really hit the spot. No wonder it was restricted to 2 cases! I hope this offer pops up again.

Very impressed. To my taste this wine was a classic sauvignon blanc,clean,"gooseberry" and refreshing to drink on its own or with a meal

A superb Sauvignon! This is our favourite wine! it is crisp, dry and compares with any other Marlborough wine on the market!!!

This Brancott Estate sauvignon blanc always delivers. It has a floral bouquet and great flavour full of fruit.

Whenever Tesco put this wine on Special Offer I buy two cases. For me it has the wow factor - maybe with a small 'w', but I cannot afford really expensive wine!. Delicious with fish or chicken.

This review is for the 2012 vintage

An OK wine, but I wouldn't rush to buy another case. Others seem to like it, but not distinctive enough from the many other NZ offerings of bargain wines

Love this example of New Zealand Malborough Sauvignon Blanc. I have tasted many and it would be hard to beat at the price. I always stock up when it is on offer!

This review is for the 2011 vintage

As a fan of New Zealand wines this is a great example of a dry, fresh wine with it's own flavours from the Malbrough region. It is great with fish, chicken or summer salads, it can be used all year round and never fails to complement the food. We always keep a supply and keep enjoying every bottle, great buy.

Refreshing, crisp and great all rounder! Citrus overtones.

Just another superior NZ Sauvignon Blanc for very little money. One of the nicest ones I've tried. Always look out for this one whenever it's on offer!

This review is for the 2012 vintage

Not as dry as the blurb says - but brilliant if well chilled. Just as good on is own or with food. Seems to be on offer quite regularly, so stock up when you can...

Keeping my wine rack topped up with this wine as it is a very delicious, drinkable wine, perfect for when a friend pops round for a drink and a chat! In fact, good for any occasion.

This my (fav) wine, if have any offer I buy a lots to keep for drink & party.

Good value for money when at a reduced price, can compare with most "Marlboroughs"

A really good example of a classic Sauvignon Blanc. Outstanding value for the money.

Found this wine extremely fantastic, I purchase this when it is on special offer. as |I do find that the normal price becomes quite expensive on a limited budget.

This review is for the 2012 vintage

This wine is excellent, especially when served very cold. I only buy when on special offer as its usually out of my price range. Well worth the money when on special offer. Although it states its a dry wine I find it more on the medium side.

Reasonable wine, fairly good value for money, happy to drink it, but i wouldn`t go out my way to buy it.

My brother introduced me to this wine and paid £12.00 for a bottle. I was so impressed with the flavour I made a note of it and sourced it online for a fraction of the price. You will not be disappointed. It has fruit notes' a lovely bouquet and is very drinkable. The last point being the issue. You just have to buy at least a case!

A delicious wine with fruity flavors and nice after taste. It is a excellent quality wine for the price and have bought before and will buy again

Classy, affordable Kiwi coast favourite. You can't go wrong with this on your table.

A dry fruity wine that is a complement to food and on its own . the citrus flavour refreshes the pallett . a wine for all seasons waiting to be discovered by new friends.

Plenty of aroma and flavour, exactly what you would expect from a NZ Sauv Blanc.

This review is for the 2012 vintage

If you like Sauvignon and New Zeaand whites in particular this is a good everday wine with most of the qualities that make NZ whites so famous. It may not be the finest I've ever had but, for the price, a great find.

This review is for the 2012 vintage

This wine is a crisp and fresh example of a New Zealand Sauvignon blanc. It is not as good as many other wines in this class but at the discounted price of £5.99 is a good buy. I would not pay more than this

This review is for the 2012 vintage

This is a good Sauvignon Blanc. At first I thought it might be a bit sharp but now I would describe it as it as pleasantly crisp and dry with plenty of flavour. It is much nicer when not over chilled - it has much to recommend it. Serve it lavishly as an aperitif: you and those of your friends who like dry Sauvignon will really enjoy this one..

Great Sauvignon; good value when full price, even better when on sale! ;-)

This wine is a really crisp flavour. This is one of my favourite Sauvignons and always buy in bulk when on offer. I will always buy this brand.

Excelllent NZ Savignon Blanc. Standard price somewhat eye watering but this offer is very good value.

Before bringing the glass anywhere near my nose I could smell a bowl of fresh fruit salad, it could be the smelling salt of the wine world the aroma was that strong. When I brought the glass nearer it was like the bowl was sitting in a meadow just after heavy rain, It really did cry out fresh tropical fruit and that distinctive damp grassiness after a storm. Taste – If you feeling tired and in need of a lift this will certainly invigorate you, it is fresh tasting with a real kick of that lovely racy acidity. Again tropical flavours of peach and melon with a little tang of sharp grapefruit but there is still that grassy herbal attack hanging around in the background. think I paid around £6 in store for this bottle and it tasted like a more expensive bottle, at the price though it’s hard to beat. Definitely one of the flagship Sauvignon Blancs from the Marlborough region.

Better than wines we actually bought IN New Zealand in Spring of 2012. Well Done Tesco!

Brancott Estate wines have become a 'must buy' standard whenever it appears on special offer. The Sauvignon Blanc is a typical zingy white whilst the Pinot Noir is a slick partner.

This review is for the 2012 vintage

I do not count myself as a wine connoisseur but i do like a dry white. This is a medium dry but, it is one of the best i've tasted. I wont go into what fruits etc come through, just to say it is very pleasant and for me, goes with any meal.
