Lively and fresh, despite being a vintage or two behind, this offers a complex, almost NZ-like nose full of lime, gooseberry, white chili pepper, green pea, white peppercorn, and chalky minerals. Medium bodied on the palate, with a nice balance between juicy, citrusy acidity and slightly lush green melon flavors.

Appearance: (3/3) Clarity clear with light straw colour visible and a good gradation. Nose: (5/7) Clean,tropical fruit offering inviting aromas of medium intensity and a light complexity. Palate: (7/10) Dry entrance with a gradual follow through from nose to palate. Well balanced, offering green fig and asparagus flavours with a lingering aftertaste of medium weight and acidity. Conclusion: (15/20) Young vintage keeping you intrigued and interested. Promising age potential. Overall balanced between the nose and palate, combining at the end to ensure a lingering aftertaste.

In the glass a greenish straw and pale depth. The nose is clean with a medium-low intensity. Clear Golden Delicous, ripe fruits, peach and mango with a medium complexity. The entry is dry with a medium-high acidity and tastes of lime and passion fruit. The wine is in balance and has a good follow trough. The aftertaste is short to medium. This Saucignon blanc from the warmer Stellenbosch climate is fairly young and fresh.
CWA point scale: 15,5/20
