Close your eyes and this Sauvignon could be coming at you from across the ditch, such is the level of exuberant herbaceousness it carries. This is possibly why the Adelaide Hills leads the way with the grape in Australia when it comes to showcasing its varietal intensity. Green capsicum, green bean, snow pea scents with grapefruit and citrus jump and dance from the glass. Dusty and tense, a touch old school or classic in interpretation with herbals and cut grass flashing across the palate going head to head with racy, fresh acidity. Sav blanc fans will expect no less.
