This vintage is not one to shy away from, it packs a flavor-filled and aromatic punch. Concentrated with medium body, soft acidity and a clean, refreshing palate interlaced with flavors of green apple, kiwi and grapefruit. The bouquet has floral notes of elder flower and aromas of gooseberry, litchi and grapefruit. Only slight hints of green pepper and fig. Decanting this wine before drinking will aid in opening up the wine and releasing the myriad of aromas and flavors.

Food pairing notes
Serving temperature of 10°C and a recommended pairing would be aromatic foods. It does really well with Thai curry, seafood that has a tomato based sauce – I know not typical foods you would think of pairing with a Sauvignon Blanc, but this isn’t a normal Sauvignon Blanc. Often a Sauvignon is seen as a cheap and “quaffable” wine, but we aim to make wines of flavor, texture and wines that can stand on their own but are even better with food, a wine made for a night out in the restaurant with good friends.
