Wine Review: This Sauvignon Blanc is a tangy and fruity. In the glass it is a pale straw color, and has a tropical bouquet of pineapple, lychee, ripe white peach and a hint of rose petal. On the palate, it is dry and silky, with a medium body and medium-plus acidity, and is slightly viscous. There are flavors of white peach, pineapple and grapefruit with integrated minerality. It has a long citrus finish to enjoy. I would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with mussels steamed in garlic and wine. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: Water white color with a hint of green and gold. Displays lifted aromatics of canned peaches, pineapple, fresh herbs, honeysuckle and elderflower. The palate bursts with white peach, cantaloupe, Cape gooseberry and green apple underscored by green tea and a ripe herbal backbone. Long citrus and mineral finish, with linear acidity balanced by creamy mouthfeel. Pairs well with oysters, seafood, and chicken. Vegan friendly. Kim Crawford - Winemaker
