"This shows a citrusy nose with lemon peel, white peaches, orchid blossom and leafy herbs. Medium-bodied with a round, creamy texture and crunchy acidity. Fresh and vibrant with a flavorful finish. Drink now."
There's a beautiful, pale lemon coloured shimmer in the glass with wonderfully elegant notes of citrus, mango and tropical fruits.
The palate again has a delicate note of mango, backed up with exotic fruit and notes of pineapple and citrus with a wonderful, almost creamy mouth feel. There's a crisp citrus zip which balances the texture and leaves you refreshed and keen to return for another sip.
It is the addition of a small amount of semillon, a common partner to sauvignon blanc in the great whites of Bordeaux, that makes these wines such a treat. It adds a real roundness to the palate, an almost creamy texture on the finish and offers a more subtle fruit character when compared to offerings from the new world.
It really is a lovely 'grown up' sauvignon blanc, and a real treat on a balmy summer evening.
It's a lovely glass of wine as it is, but you may be surprised at how well these wines can age, a few years in the bottle and the freshness will be retained as a savoury textured undercurrent develops, delicious!
