Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from Spottswoode opens with a fragrant pink grapefruit and green tea bouquet with hints of tomato leaf and jasmine. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, well-built, and refined. The flavor profile is saline and gentle lemon-lime blend with notes of quince and tangy grapefruit. We also detected hints of stony minerality and a touch of green apple. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity fade away nicely. The Tasting Panel would enjoy this wine this summer on porch swing. With food, we would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with baked halibut or oysters on the half shell. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2023 vintage was long and temperate, and at times, blissfully cool. The resulting wine has a great balance of richness and texture and a very well-delineated backbone of vibrant acidity. Aromatics and flavors of lemon, mandarin, Asian pear, and white peach with fresh, floral notes of cassis bud and lime. Very long and mouth-wateringly juicy.
