Really quite solid. Not as much acidity as I'd like, and perhaps more oak than a simple sb really needs, but a nicely balanced medium bodied wine that exceeded expecations.

Very different from New Zealand or even California Sauvignon Blanc. Rich and powerful, this version from the hills between Italy and Slovenia is medium to full-bodied. Bright citrus flruits with some peach and ripe pear on the palate. It has a voluptuous mouthfeel reminiscent of a Chardonnay, but a long, fresh, tart finish that is true to the varietal. Paired very well with grilled scallop sliders with a rich remoulade. A little pricey for SB, but it is so complex and unique that it is worth a splurge.

Nice. Solid SB in character with a little fillip of character from its origin.

Very nice deep fruit, rich and refreshing at the same time.
