The colour of the wine is a greenish lemon, and it has a nose which is quite aromatic, showing sweet tropical fruits, white-fleshed stonefruit, plus hints of white pepper and fresh-cut hay. The palate is viscous, almost weighty, with up-front flavours of green apples and stonefruit, maybe even kiwifruit, and underlying hints of the ripe tropical fruit seen on the bouquet, and all tempered by a zesty rather than overt acidity. It is a refined Sauvignon which may be drunk now or cellared: no hurry.
Longer-term cellaring may give rise to wine crystals (see General Notes). |
