A sunset amber hue, leads way to soft herbal and citrus notes, lemongrass and a savoury accent, with pithy grape-skin tannins giving characteristic grip. The skin contact has given this a gentle golden dusting, like a young whisky, with the Sauvignon Blanc subtly recognisable under the savoury aromatic lift, of gravelly mineral-like aromas, crisp citrus, fennel and orange blossom all contributing to a subtly complex nose. Those skins are evident on the palate, with decent textured chew cinching the wine in, and powerful fruit freshness still shining through.
