LIME ROCK Sauvignon Blanc 2010 LIME ROCK Sauvignon Blanc 2009 TiZwine Consumer Tasting, Sept 2009 Voted most popular Sauvignon Blanc. LIME ROCK Sauvignon Blanc 2008 "This is one of the finest wines yet from Central Hawke's Bay. The bouquet is fresh and punchy; the palate weighty, with an array of grapefruit, herbal and mineral flavours, fresh, crisp, dry and long."Since its founding in 1946 by Etienne Guigal, the Guigal family's three most famous vineyards, La Mouline, La Landonne and La Turque (commonly referred to as the "La La La's"), have become world famous as the definition of high-quality Rhone blends. Robert Parker has praised Guigal wines, saying, "In the past 26 years I have spent visiting wineries and vignerons, I have never seen a producer so fanatical about quality as Marcel Guigal." This focus on quality has earned Guigal Decanter's Man of the Year award, and has placed the Cote-Rotie region on par with other areas of the Northern Rhone in both quality and market worth.

The 2009 La Mouline uses a greater percentage of Viognier than previous vintages, at about 11 percent of the total bottle.

good wine for a dietThe hot weather in Rhone meant that Guigal's production yields were down, but the few grapes that survived the summer were some of the most powerful the estate had ever seen, resulting in the bold fruit flavor of the 2009 Guigal Cote-Rotie La Mouline.
