TASTING NOTE: Youthful, bright and elegantly fragrant, the bouquet shows feijoa, white stone fruit, lime zest and passion fruit aromas, leading to a concentrated and focused palate that is lively and vibrant. The wine offers excellent fruit purity and intensity, wonderfully framed by juicy acidity. A delightful sauvignon offering plenty of delectable flavours. At its best: now to 2019. Score - 93 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Nov. 2016) |
