Tasting Notes:
Straw-yellow colour, and very bright. The aromas vary widely, with great expression and elegance. There are notes of boxwood, fresh green chilli, and tomato leaves. There are citrus aromas of fresh grapefruit, as well as tropical passion fruit and exotic white guava. The aromas are repeated on the palate, accompanied by a sensation of fresh crunchiness and elegant body. The wine remains on the palate for a long time, leaving subtle flavors that invite you to have another glass.

Grape Varietal(s):
Sauvignon Blanc.

Awards & Accolades (Robert Parker/ Wine Spectator/ James Suckling etc):
Touches of sea salt, white asparagus and gooseberries to the limey citrus and kiwi. Pure and zingy on the palate, with fresh acidity and a flavorful finish. I like the freshness that gives it a nervy sensibility. Saline at the end. Drink now. Screw cap.” – James Suckling, 93 points
