Tight, dry wine with mineral, wild herb and a suggestion of tree fruit flavours. The wine has good mouthfeel and texture. It’s an understated (rather than showy) Sauvingon Blanc that, like the wines of Sancerre, shows more emphasis on texture than taste.

Tasted: Dec 2008   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $22 (~USD $17)
