2023 Weaver Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

Crisp, zingy Sauvignon Blanc finishing dry, tight and steely.

Brilliant water like core with greenish tinged edges. A mix of passionfruit, lime and green apple scents leap from the glass trailed by some subtle herbaceous gooseberry and mineral notes. Crisp and zingy in its feel across the palate, Granny Smith apple, lime and passionfruit flavours are underpinned by racy acidity. Some delicate herbaceous and flinty mineral components extend across the back half. Finishes long, dry and steely with a zesty edge.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews…..
Geoff Weaver's first plantings of sauvignon blanc were in '78. This has texture and interest on its side, elevating the variety to something special and more substantial. It does show off benchmark characters of lime, passionfruit and just-ripe pineapple with sniffs of cut grass and basil herbal elements. The palate follows suit similarly, but with more depth than expected, a clatter of limey-briny acidity amongst fruitiness and subtle river-pebble mineral notes. It floods the senses, finishing long and refreshing. Very good. Drink by 2028.
