TAPI Organic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Description

Dry

• Passionfruit
• Blackcurrant
• Ripe lemon
• Textural acidity

"A totally enticing bouquet, bold and familiar with its scents of fresh citrus and tropical fruits, black currant leaf and fine layers of fruit spice. The palate delivers a fine silky touch before the fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet come bursting forth. A backbone of acidity, a fine leesy quality and whisper of barrel each layer in to build complexity and most of all charm and mouthfeel. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2028" Cameron Douglas MS, Sep 2024

Aromas of passionfruit, lime, lemon and blackcurrant. Flavours of ripe lemon and tropical fruits on the palate. Bright, refreshing textural acidity providing length and persistence with an elegant finish.
