Review Date : 21-Sep-2025
Bright, even, pale yellow with a light green hue. The nose is softly full, with aromas of peach, pineapple, citrus, snow pea and white spice. Medium-light bodied, aromas of lime and pineapple, entwined with peach, guava, grapefruit peel and snow pea. A creamy mouthfeel embraces the sweet fruit and vibrant acidity, unfolding subtle white spice and fine-textured phenolics. This Sauvignon Blanc is lively and buoyant, featuring a creamy mouthfeel and subtle spice and texture.
