Tasting Notes
This wine shows complex, ripe fruit with a dry finish. Flinty minerality mixing it up with tropical fruit and a hint of grass aromas on the nose. Exceptional long tropical pineapple, citrus finish which is typical of the long hang time in our cool region.
Food Suggestions
Very good while preparing a meal on the patio. Ideal with fish, chicken and pasta.

About The Harvest
Grapes are hand picked over a progressive ripening curve to capture the natural acidity and show the riper, tropical fruit flavour of Sauvignon Blanc with typical freshness and balance.
