Tasting notes
The 2013 Sauvignon Blanc presents very pleasant lemon peel, musk perfume, passion fruit and baking bread nose with hints of lemongrass and orange blossom. Light to medium-bodied, it has great restraint and a quiet intensity, plus plenty of savory characters mixed in with citrus flavors. It finishes long with a lovely herbal lift.

Pale yellow-green. Complex nose offers scents of pineapple, citrus peel, spices and white pepper. Sweet, rich and intense, with enticing, ripe, dusty flavors of pineapple and grapefruit. A seamless, beautifully balanced fruit bomb with real palate presence and little in the way of greenness. Really expands in the mouth.
Herbal, wild-fermentation aroma. More grass and nettles than green fig or asparagus. A little smoky, both refined and intense. Not your run of the mill Marlborough Sauvignon. Tastes nicely dry on the finish. (JH)
