So we bought 4 bottles of "Brancott Estate" Sauvignon Blanc in Lotus's

[Crossy]

And very nice it is too.

 

Spot the difference, 3 bottles were like the one on the right, 1 as on the left

Someone at the distillery consumed a bit too much of the product.

Wine is not distilled, it is merely fermented.

1. How much is it?
2. Why is the red one cold and the white one warm?

ESTATE, put the sheep standing upright

I think the upsidedown stuff is a nod to them being on the southern hemisphere were things like the seasons are also upsidedown

(if you come from the northern hemisphere )

A bit of self-deprecating humour.

I'm confused @Crossy (not hard these days) but the red wine is labelled sauvignon blanc, which as we all know is a white wine, so what am I missing here??

 

I have visited the Brancott Estate winery near Blenheim in the South Island of New Zealand and I enjoyed the visit as well as the wine tasting.

Weather impacts in vineyards can result in lower yields, which may prompt a change in production volumes or even influence which wines are made available in certain markets. Not sure what may have happened here—could it be a labeling error or a final dump of the last few bottles available? With the vineyard now closed, it’s a final chance to enjoy your drink!

You are missing nothing, we got red in a sealed blanc bottle 🙂

 

Only noticed when we went to open the "red" hence it being cold.

Who does not just love....Sauvignon?

But, I am too cheap to pay any import Tariffs.

So, all you others out there...
Enjoy!!!
