Knee Deep Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc 2020

It is hard work competing with the flood of Marlborough Savvy, and a slightly different approach is needed if the wine is to stand out. This has that with the focus on elegance and delicacy. As well as citrus notes, it has a slight oystershell hint. There are tropical notes, but they are largely subsumed by the citrus characters. Dry herbs, it is somewhat reminiscent of a summer garden, which would be an ideal place to drink it. A pleasing texture, one of minerality, and it lingers nicely. This is an ideal style for a range of light dishes. For me, this pips the blend, but I would not be too critical of anyone who went the other way.
