Winery review: A zing of passion fruit, lime, orange rind and green herbal notes hit the nose and then carry on to the crisp, lightweight palate. This is a young, tangy wine for knocking back poolside. Christina Pickard 3/1/2024 - 87

Wine Folly: pg. 165 Sauvignon Blanc - A light body with low sweetness levels as mentioned in Wine Folly. Supposed to contain notes of grapefruit, gooseberry, white peach, and passionfruit. This one in particular we tasted at a wine tasting at the local Vintage Wine Cellar, and has notes of lemon and green apple. Also has a very flowery aroma to it. Sauvignon Blancs tend to have a high level of acidity as mentioned in the book and this was definitely the case here.

My review: I thoroughly enjoyed this white wine. Has a quite unique flavor and high level of acidity which I liked. At first taste, it seemed almost sour, but after letting the flavors flourish over the next 15-30 seconds it soothes down and becomes very enjoyable. I like the dryness and low sweetness which is what I tend to prefer. Definitely going to have this one again in the future.

I tasted it on its own without any food pairings.
