Winery Review: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.
My Thoughts: Citrusy nose. Hints of pineapple and lemon. Only a slight grassy or floral aspect, quite the opposite of most Sauvignon Blancs I have had. The flavor was very mild with high acidity. Mineral notes and lemon. Not bad, definitely like this wine more than every other Sauvignon Blanc I have tasted.
