TASTING NOTE: A mouth-wateringly delicious sauvignon, the lifted bouquet shows nectarine, rock melon, feijoa and elegant herbaceous characters. The palate is juicy and intensely flavoured with superb fruit purity, leading to a lingering zesty finish. Love the vibrancy and succulent fruit flavours. At its best: now to 2019.
