Community Tasting Note

• Eric gene Noack Likes this wine: 93 points

  December 27, 2018 - A very nice sav/blanc/semillon .
  
  The usual passionfruit/mineral nose that I get from most NZ sav/blancs so this SA offering is very similar.
  Platinum award for best value white , decanter, plus 97 points.
  Not sure it's that high but I have noticed that reviewers in Europe, particularly, Spain and Italy seem to over rate the wines into the stratosphere.
  I say it's equal to the best from NZ and that passionfruit nose is always present yet it seems most reviewers have no idea what a passionfruit smells or tastes like.
  On the tongue it shows mineral and slight acid to the front a stalky finish .
  The wine itself is light in colour and body .
  It is an easy drinking wine of very good quality, does not have a high price tag like so many good South African wines which is a nice surprise because to be honest some of those South African wines in the $100.00 to $150.00 price point are just toooooo expensive .
  I guess they are surfing on the ratings of people like Tim Atkins who seems to be like a blind man with a machine gun .
