Always a consistent performer, and again a very good value Sauvignon Blanc. Easy recommendation.

Grass green colour with a pungent, intensely varietal savvy nose with plenty of herbaceousness and some tropical overtones. Nice nose -very pure and varietal. The palate isn’t as cutting as the nose, more soft and quite tropical with good fruit sweetness and clear grape flavours, lacking only the punchy acidity of the best wines. Good drinking regardless. 17.5/91
