22:45 isnt Awatere drier ? The book says it is cooler and “drier” in Awatere than Wairau

[@WineWithJimmy]

Yes you are correct as mentioned around 6:30 - in the written question/answer it is a typo so please ignore

What do u think about Marlboro Sun? Here in Ukraine in every wine shop everybody asks for this particular wine and when I am offering another Sav. Blanc from the same region look at me suspiciously

[@WineWithJimmy]

Hi V - I must confess I have never tried it - it does not seem a wine that makes it into the UK.

You mentioned minerality. Does WSET accept minerality in a diploma tasting examination?

[@WineWithJimmy]

WSET accepts the terms 'wet stones' or 'flint' for now - though some independent schools offering the L3 may accept minerality. Please check with your programme provider

I know New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is meant to be drunk early. Given that New Zealand or Marlborough is a maritime climate, does vintage variation matter?

[@WineWithJimmy]

Yes for sure. In a maritime climates, extreme weather such as excess rainfall can create significant changes such as excess growth during ripening season which can detract from ripeness causing higher herbaceous notes. This is just one example!
