Impressive Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with classic pungent aromas of red capsicum, lemon grass and passion fruit. The wine is concentrated with good fruit purity and a perfect balance of fresh acidity and fruit/alcohol sweetness. One of the best examples of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from the good 2009 vintage tasted to date.
