Tasting Notes
A creamy, luscious example of Sauvignon Blanc, thanks to barrel fermentation and aging. It has luscious notes of passionfruit and pineapple, and a zippy line of acidity leading to a bright finish.

"Tangy number but seems to mitigate the urge of the variety to go turbo green and indeed there’s light, creamy nougat notes in the mix and licks of pleasing fruitiness. Still, passionfruit, green herbs, but more going on and a good, skittish mix of acidity and fine chalky tannins. Lovely." - Mike Bennie
