A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon, 70% of this wine spent four months in new French oak barriques in order to build further complexity.
Brilliant very pale straw, almost water like colour with watery hue. Delicate aromas of herbaceous unripe gooseberry and citrus followed by a hint of spice. Clean crisp dry palate with subtle flavours of unripe gooseberry and lemon followed by some light grassy characters and mineral with just a hint of pencil shavings emerging on the finish. Clean crisp acidity with aftertaste of unripe gooseberry, lemon and mineral.
Drink over the next 2-3 years (2010-2013)
