Winery Review: "This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa." Vintage Cellar wine notes
My Review: I think this might have been my least favorite wine I've sampled thus far at the VC. Nose was heavy on citrus, particularly lemon, and grass giving it a little zesty pep. This wine must have been hibernating this winter though because it was the flabbiest flab wine I've had, so if anyone doesn't know what that means and wants to find out how important acidity is to wine, go grab a bottle of this. Smooth, light bodied, and semi-sweet with a light vanilla, tobacco taste with some hints smokiness in the background. I believe this was my first experience with Sauvignon Blanc, off on the wrong foot but always time to win me over.
I sampled the wine without food.
