Bob Campbell: Wine Expert recommends Rimapere Baron Edmond de Rothschild 2024 Sauvignon Blanc

Bob's Best Buys: Rimapere Baron Edmond de Rothschild 2024 Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, $30 

Why I chose it:                      

- Top vintage 
- Best of Marlborough with a French accent 
- Sauvignon doesn’t get much better than this 
- Delicious now but no rush 
- It has great purity and power 
- Due to be released, but buy it while stocks last 

 

What does it taste like?  

A delicious sauvignon blanc with real finesse. Flavours are a medley of passion fruit, lime zest, guava, and a suggestion of feijoa. A vibrant and refreshing wine with appealing purity. It has a strong Marlborough signature with a subtle French accent.  

 

Why it’s a bargain:  

It’s not the cheapest sauvignon around, in fact as sauvignon goes it is moderately expensive, but is also very, very good. In my book it offers good value. 

 

Where can you buy it? 

It is just about to be released so check out your nearest fine wine retailer. When ordering in advance, don’t forget to enquire about a discount. 

 

What’s a good food match?  

The folk at Rimapere recommend pairing it with salads, white meats, or fish in sauce dishes. I can’t argue with that.

Campbell for his best buy this week, killed a Bob Yeah,
for your best buy this week, You've chosen a Riema
Petty Baron Edmund de Rothschild twenty twenty four seven Young blog.
Bit of a mouthful, but a very pleasurable mouthful, you reckon.
This is from Marlborough for thirty dollars. So why did
you choose it?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Bob?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, it's a mouthful to announce that. It's a mouthful
to drink too, that's for sure. It's twenty twenty four
is a top vintage. It's shaping up to be an
absolute cracker, and this is one of the best. In fact,
I'd say it's the best marlboroslovin on that I've tried today.

(00:55):
Of course they haven't all released their twenty twenty fours,
but this is certainly a certainly a beauty. It's it's
delicious now, but but at most servian I think would
be drunk within a year of release. But but but
I don't think there's any rush for this wine. I

(01:16):
think it will have a it'll reward keeping for a
year or two at least, perhaps even more. Yeah, it's
got a little purity and power. It's due to be
released shortly, but and I'd say buy it while stocks
last because it's going to be a highly demanded wine.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
So what does it taste like.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
It's the same as a sort of a like a
medley of passion, fruit line, zest, guava. I even fancied
a touch of the figure there a little bit. It's
it's sort of vibe and refreshing wine with real purity,
and it's it's got a strong Marvel signature, but it's

(02:03):
I think it's got a subtle French accent as well,
which makes it a bit more interesting.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Thirty dollars a bottle, you reckon? This is good value.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, it's not the cheapest servinyon around. In fact, as
far as servion goes, it's moderately expensive. But it's also
but it's also very very good, so that in my
book it just equates to good value.

they're not going to stop it. Anyway, when you order
an advance like that, don't forget to inquire about a discount.
Most retailers are very happy to give a little price.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, right, a bit of a discount for especially if
you're ordering an advance. And what would you match the
remapeia worth? Do you think?

quite meat or fish in sauce dishes. And I argue
with that, that sounds so delicious point wine, saucem and ubbly.
