87/100 45

Quite a lot of botrytis influence with pure honey masking Sauvignon Blanc varietal flavours. Fairly sweet with good support from fine acidity that allows this wine to be enjoyed as an aperitif or with moderately sweet foods.

Tasted: Mar 2011   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $35 (~USD $27)
