Wonderfully expressive, spicy notes scramble over rich, opulent layers of dense black fruit on the front and mid palate. Succulent plum, ripe, juicy blackcurrant and seductive bramble ebb and flow, connecting seamlessly with the firm, almost effortless, tannins. This is elegant winemaking at its best.

Vibrant, effervescent lime races through a tropical panorama of juicy mango, lush guava and succulent pineapple. Immaculate grassy notes bristle on the taut palate, riding a sparkling acidity through to the enduring finish. Redolent of Sancerre, this Sauvignon expression is lots of fun and outrageously good.

Delightful green apple, grapefruit and lemon zest nose with pronounced minerally notes. More greennish tones and minerality on the palate, which is fresh, clean and firmly structured, with firm, lingering acidity. Good food wine.
