Description

"Full of personality, the youthful 2017 vintage was estate-grown at Rapaura and handled entirely in tanks. Light lemon/green, it is full of personality, with mouthfilling body, fresh, concentrated, ripe, tropical fruit flavours to the fore, a herbaceous undercurrent, and excellent balance, vigour and depth. Certified organic" Michael Cooper, 2018

"A stylish sauvignon, the elegantly expressed bouquet shows grapefruit, rockmelon, lime zest and subtle oatmeal characters. The palate is beautifully weighted and finely textured, delivering bright fruit intensity together with vibrant acidity, leading to a persistent crisp finish. The wine offers juicy fruit flavours together with elegant savoury nuances. At its best: now to 2021. Certified organic" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018

This is an elegant & summery Sauvignon Blanc with vibrant aromas of yellow loquats, stonefruits & freshly muddled lime. Delicate suggestions of citrus blossom, straw and wet river stones provide complexity to the bouquet. Strikingly juicy on the palate, the wine has medium weight, light creaminess & a crisp acidity, supported by lengthy flavours of nectarine, lime & chalk.

Food Paiirng: Pairs well with fried fish like goujons, whitebait and fish and chips and with simply grilled chicken or lamb.
