84/100 35

Rich, generous Sauvignon Blanc with good flavour concentration and plate weight. Flavours are ripe with tree fruit/nectarine and pineapple supported by fresh acidity. The flavours can just carry a high-ish alcohol which introduces a touch of heat on the finish. Interesting wine with character.

Tasted: Dec 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $24 (~USD $20)
