Tasting Notes
Appearance:
This Sauvignon Blanc pours a pale straw-yellow, shimmering with green highlights that evoke freshness and vibrancy.
Nose:
On the nose, an enticing bouquet bursts forth with aromas of citrus, including lime and mandarin, accompanied by juicy passionfruit. Underlying these fruity notes are herbaceous layers of blackcurrant leaf, fennel, and gooseberry leaf, all enriched by a subtle flinty, mineral character.
Palate:
The palate is lively and juicy, marked by a crisp, zesty acidity that highlights flavours of lime, mandarin, and tropical fruits. Herbaceous elements - such as spearmint and fresh-cut grass - build complexity, while gentle mineral and saline notes add a sense of place. The well-judged texture from lees ageing and partial oak fermentation brings subtle weight and structure, making each sip vibrant yet refined.
Finish:
The finish is clean, refreshing, and persistent, leaving a lingering trace of citrus zest and delicate minerality, inviting another sip. This Sauvignon Blanc is a brilliant example of how precision and respect for place can deliver a wine of both purity and complexity.
