Very impressed by this. Very lively and expressive with open tangerine and passion fruit characters. Smooth and beautifully textured with lovely focus and a bit of exoticism. This isn’t your herbaceous, green style, but has more of an emphasis on ripe fruit. A very pretty, balanced wine.

"Aromatic Sauvignon Blanc with grapefruit, lime, passion fruit and red capsicum flavours. The wine has concentrated flavours and an ethereal texture with great purity and length. Silken-textured with a distinctive lanolin mouth feel. Very classy Sauvignon.
