Summary:

In this episode of the Wine Educate podcast, Joanne walks listeners through a detailed WSET Systematic Approach to Tasting (SAT) analysis of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, showcasing how tasting notes evolve across WSET Levels 1, 2, and 3. Using the 2023 Three Brooms as an example, she explores the differences in structure, detail, and evaluation as students progress through each level. Joanne also shares insights into common descriptors like "gooseberry" and "cat's pee," breaking them down for clarity and context.
