The Vintage Cellar's Review: "This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa."
My Review: This Sauvignon Blanc had a slightly acidic and fresh aroma, with hints of apple and fresh grass. On the palate, this wine exhibited sweetness with a smooth acidity. A very refreshing wine, it finished on a slightly tarter note, reminding one of the initial scent of green apples on the nose.
This wine was tasted without food.
