review

It's fabulously aromatic on the nose, showing crisp apple, feijoa, kiwifruit, and lemon zest aromas. The palate is equally appealing, with juicy fruit intensity backed by refreshing acidity, finishing crisp and dry, with a lingering finish.

Raymond Chan Wine Reviews

review

Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is elegantly fresh, with aromas of citrus, apple, fennel and fresh herbs. Medium-light bodied, aromas of grapefruit, lime, and apple melded with fennel and fresh-cut herbs. Vibrant acidity carries the fruit along a chalky mouthfeel, unfolding a touch of saline and a textural finish. Match with sole and mussels over the next 3 years.

This Sauvignon Blanc is refreshing and vibrant, unfolding a touch of saline on a chalky, textural mouthfeel.
