Colour

Bright and vibrant with a sparkling green tint showing through the pale straw.

Bouquet

A complex mingling of herbaceous nettles and rocket with fruity, tropical notes of yellow apples, pears and apricots. Unexpectedly-rich lees undertones

Taste

Beautifully balanced and fresh with lots of vibrant “zip”. Rich tropical flavours of ripe, yellow gooseberries and fresh ginger give the wine its broad mouthfeel while the
leesy creaminess and crisp acidity combine to create an exceptionally long tail.

Aging Potential

Under the correct cellaring conditions, the wine should reach its full potential at an age of around three to four years. Those who, however, enjoy the majesty of a mature Sauvignon blanc should keep a few bottles for an additional few years – they will be pleasantly surprised by what this wine offers.

Food Pairing

Suggested accompaniments include Caprese salads, fresh coleslaw with roasted pine nuts, Asian-style salads with roasted sesame seeds and grilled sole with crispy, fried capers and fresh onion.
