Winery Review: Made in a definite herbaceous style, this Sauvignon Blanc also offers tropical undertones of gooseberries that add fruit to the palate. Well-balanced with zesty acidity, every glassful is fresh and crisp and perfect for warm summer days. Very refreshing on its own and lovely with crisp salads, light seafood dishes, tapas, steamed green asparagus and aioli.
My Review: Immediately on the nose I could tell that this was a classic Sauvignon Blanc. The taste was extremely crisp and cut right through to my midpalate with the acidity. However, the acidity wasn't overpowering and did not make the wine feel hot. I could tell on a warm summer's day, as they explained, this would have the perfect effectiveness of a crisp and sharp finish to round off light meals.
I tried this wine without any food.
