Wine Maker Review: Fresh and subtly aromatic, this wine
exhibits the typical Sauvignon Blanc characteristics of gooseberry and citrusy
lemon and lime on the nose. A hint of clove comes through and is underpinned by
passion fruit and grapefruit aromas. Crisp minerality, fresh acidity and a
well-integrated palate are complimented by flavours of papaya, sweet melon, lemon,
lime and passion fruit. The finish is long and rich and almost increases with
intensity towards the end.
My Review: This wine had an extremely good nose. I loved the
fruit flavors that presented themselves, with the nice citrus smells. I was
slightly disappointed though with the taste. I thought that it was extremely
unlike what it smelled like which threw me off. I was expecting something with
strong acids but got a more dry and melon flavor. Not my favorite.
I did not taste this wine with food.
