Fantastic, flinty minerals on the nose with lavender and a silky citrus palette with bold acidity.
White
2013 Hewitson Sauvignon Blanc Lulu Australia, South Australia, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide Hills
91 points
Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc is often this good, and I'm really warming to the style. The nose is soft gooseberry and kiwi fruit with musky florals and a palette of chewy acidity, with a big structure and a slightly sweet finish.
