Notes | |||
"An intensely aromatic nose, this is a delicious medley of ripe citrus, tropical fruit and a hint of something savory. The fruit spectrum is complex and while overwhelmingly ‘Sauvignon Blanc’, the addition of delicate oak adds another dimension. The striking palate immediately fills the mouth and finds a crisp finish to a long and balanced interplay of fruit and acidity. Delicate white wine tannins provide the framework and, combined with an approachable acidity, focuses the palate toward a long and elegant finish." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Juicy and incredibly drinkable, with ripe apricot, candied ginger, melon and aromatic citrus zest highlights on a fleshy frame. Features a hint of honeysuckle that lingers on the long, expressive finish." —Wine Spectator "Lots of passion fruit, white grapefruit, green pineapple and fresh herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied, aromatic and juicy with bright acidity. Sweet fruit and lemons to close. Drink now. Screw cap." —James Suckling |
