| TASTING NOTE: Delightfully fragrant and intensely aromatic, this fabulous sauvignon shows white nectarine, passionfruit, lime zest and lemon grass notes on the nose. The palate is juicy and flavoursome, and delivers excellent fruit purity backed by bright acidity. Wonderfully expressed and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2019.
