Chilled, popped and poured. Drank over 1 1/2 hours with dim sum from a half bottle.
Nose: Very aromatic from the get go. Flowers and white stone fruit
Taste: Initial blasts of lemon and sweet pears. A very nice smokey and flinty midpalate that tails into a savoury finish, all the while maintaining that classic sauvignon blanc flavour profile without being overt. Nice acid and supple texture of a wine. Decently long finish. A very refreshing change from the usual NZ SB that I usually encounter.
A nice delicious wine that went very well with dim sum, definitely has some short term aging potential.

Stone fruit, citrus, and wet rocks. Light bodied but decent flavor concentration.
