Jump right in and enjoy this youngster’s liveliness and overall freshness for what it is – mighty good drinking right now. It’s all here. Aromas bursting in apple blossom with citrus, apple, some light herbals and background passionfruit to set the scene. To taste, it’s just as vivacious and alive in just-picked white peach and summer-fresh zesty citrus with hints of passionfruit pulp and light herbals before finishing on a gently grassy, savvy note. The blend of 52% Sauvignon and 48% Semillon creates a space where both equally contribute and a small percentage of wild barrel ferment qualities and time in seasoned French oak brings its mealy creaminess to the wine in line with super clean bright acidity. Juicy, fresh and oh so drinkable.
