A swath of passionfruit to begin with followed by gooseberry, lemon zest, lemongrass, whispers of green bean. There’s no doubting the variety here, Sauvignon Blanc through and through. The palate has lemon juice upfront followed by lemongrass, passionfruit, lychee and wet stone. Concentration is a touch lacking, but there’s a nice pithy acid line through the finish bringing a fresh, salivating close.
