It is beautifully ripe and fragrant on the nose displaying passionfruit, rockmelon, feijoa and lime zest characters. The palate delivers superb fruit richness and intensity with perfectly pitched acidity, which provides a lingering refreshing mouthfeel. The wine ticks all the delicious boxes.

4 Stars Raymond Chan

Brilliant, very pale straw colour with slight green hues, near colourless on the rim.  This has a very fresh, intense and tightly bound nose with penetrating aromas of passionfruit, gooseberries, fresh herbs and snow peas, along with white florals and mouthwatering mineral nuances.  Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate is up-front with rich and juicy, accessible, mouthfilling flavours of passionfruit and gooseberries.  The wine is harmonious in presentation and flows smoothly with softly fresh underlying acidity and subtle textures.  The wine carries to a soft, even, integrated and easy finish.  This is an accessible, gently mouthfilling Sauvignon Blanc with harmoniously integrated passionfruit and gooseberry flavours on a fresh, but smooth palate.
