What an exuberant youngster! Super aromatic and looking very much archetypal, pure-fruited Adelaide Hills Savvy – herbaceous and energised. Bursts bright in aromas of gooseberry, citrus, jalapeño, bright green herbals and passionfruit pulp. It’s a Sauvignon that moves fast and brisk in acidity, pulpy and tart, which gets the tastebuds working overtime. Fully ripe in fruit offerings of gooseberry, hints of peach and passionfruit, the palate comes layered in green herbal notes – dill, grass, pea shoot, lemongrass – clean, crisp, zesty fresh. Lots to like now, but with complexity already in place, it’s in a good space for further development.
