FROM THE WINEMAKER:
“Pale golden colour. Expressive nose of blackcurrant, citrus, vineyard peaches, pineapple, and a hint of tomato leaf. The wine is full-bodied, well-balanced and attractively fresh on the palate. Long crunchy aftertaste with sweet citrus overtones.”

EXPERTS:
“A pretty, floral nose with lemon, grapefruit and a delightful hint of mint. The palate is quite characterful, with more typically grassy Sauvignon notes than the nose, but it doesn’t lose that playful minty suggestion. A fun, light, crisp wine that will knock it out of the park as a sipper but also has the freshness and lift for seafood salads or fish main courses.” –Vintages Tasting Panel
