Nine months in barrel prior to bottling is part of the Suckfizzle SBS mantra. It wears it well. This youngster is all energy and bright in herbaceous character, cut grass, capsicum, green apple, grapefruit. A blast of herbals, quite intense, races across the palate. Acidity, if anything is a little abrasive, assertive, especially in conjunction with so much obvious sauvignon pyrazine. Finishes with herbal lemon verbena and Aussie bush notes against a strong sauvignon blanc presence. Another wine to watch how it develops further in the bottle.
