Color: Pale straw yellow.
Nose: A bright, freagran and vibrant nose featuring elderflower, limes, and fine herbs.
Palate: At just 9.5% alcohol, The Doctors’ Sauvignon Blanc nearly leaps out of the glass with red capsicum, passionfruit and herb notes, its full and satisfying to taste, with that crisp, refreshing, tropical Marlborough finish.This is a really smart low alcohol savvy because they hung onto 9.5% alcohol instead of aiming for 6 or 7. Works like a treat because the wine has lost none of its varietal character or its zest and energy. There’s no detectable compromise, not even a hint of unripe fruit. My only gripe is the price.
92 pts - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)The Doctors’ range from Forrest Wines aims to provide attractive drinking, up front, with slightly lower alcohol. They sit a little under 10%. The wines also hope to provide all the familiar flavours. That is certainly the case with this exuberant Savvy from Marlborough. A very pale lemon hue, the aromatics seemingly explode from the glass. If you want to find passionfruit in a wine, look no further. It is supported with hints of pineapple, citrus and peaches. A juicy style with a fine line of acidity and decent length, there is good focus and direction. No reason you can’t drink it over the next three to four years, but there is also no reason why you would do anything other than drink it now.
