  Some nice grassiness and citrus with a full bodied mouthfeel. It's lacking some of the crisp acidity that distinguish the finer examples of this varietal though.

  Lemongrass in colour- light yellow with a tinge of green - this Sauvignon Blanc had a fuity nose with a hint of straw/medow. Crisp and fresh on the palate I didnt find it particularly fruity, only the faintest hint of lemon. Ok, but not as good as some of its Australian brothers!
  
  The BA Wine lists says "Ken's mature vineyards, now between 20-30 years old, imparts an added concentration and complexity while retaining the variety's natural refreshing crispness"
  
  (Tasted in Club World aboard BA58 from Cape Town to London Heathrow)
