Description
"Brilliant, light straw-yellow colour with lemon-green hues. The nose is fresh, full and densely packed with an amalgam of green stonefruits and cooler spectrum grassy notes melded with complexing layers of flinty lees and minerals. Some tropical fruit elements emerge in the glass. Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate features a concentrated core of harmoniously integrated flavours of greengages, gooseberries, cut grass and flinty minerals. The mouthfeel is gently luscious, with subtle textures allowing the sweetness to show. Fine, lacy acidity adds freshness and carries the flavours to a light, dry finish. This is a harmonious and succulent Sauvignon Blanc with green stonefruit and flinty less flavours." Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
The wine shows a complex interplay of tropical fruit characters with elements of passion-fruit, mango and paw paw, supported by impressions of ripe gooseberries and dried herbs. It is fruity and mouth filling but yet has a refreshing spine of crisp acidity which keeps it focussed and helps draw out its length.
On release the wine has a bright lemon/lime hue. It is bursting with aromas and flavours suggestive of passionfruit, citrus fruits, gooseberries and ripe cantaloupe melon that has been sprinkled with freshly crushed marjoram and thyme. It is zingy and clean in the mouth with lingering impressions of minerality and finely tuned refreshing acidity.
