We present you a stereotyped comparison between a marketing wine and a "terroir" wine.
When Grand-Pa terroir kicks newbie marketed wine...
We choose to compare this week two Sauvignon from the same vintage, one from the region in which you can find the most beautiful Sauvignon of the world : Sancerre ; an another from South Africa where you can find different kind of grape varieties
Round 1 : The label
Porcupine Ridge looks more attractive, a young label from the new world, the Sancerre is more classic and sober which is representative from the region
So on round 1 the label is largely more efficient, trendy and fun for the customers !
Round 2 : The taste & the nose Sancerre, Domaine de la Perrièe
The first nose reveals citrus fruits with a majority of lemon. Not very complex but quite efficient in terms of flavours. A little bit of white flowers. In the mouth, we found a very good attack, a full-middle mouth but the final was disappointingly short.
South Africa, Porcupine Ridge
We found a very technological nose who shows english candys, cat-pee and yeasty aromas. This wine is like a flat tyre. He's lack of acidity, give it a watery pallet. The after mouth is really short.
Round 3: The price
Sancerre, Domaine de la Perrièe : 12,75 €
South Africa, Porcupine Ridge : 9,95 €
