P.I.G. Tasting 2006 (Northcote Manor): 12%, 375ml Late harvest sauvignon blanc, aged for nine months in acacia barrels. A medium orange gold. A fairly rich nose with some fresh marmalade notes. Good fresh palate with a nice light sweet richness and some lightly caramelised orange flavours. Really good balance with very precise, clear, clean flavours. Lacks the opulence and decadence of richer sweet wines. Not at all cloying and leaves the mouth nicely refreshed. Really good restraint.
