Pale straw colour with fresh green tinges. The bouquet is fresh and clean with classic grassy elements typical of this region but with a lemony minerality distinctive to this block. The nose is more complex than most SSB blends with an underlying toasty nuance. The palate is bright and fresh with vibrant citric, gooseberry and lychee-like flavours, all at a level of intensity greater than expected.

Pale white straw, clear and bright in color. Aromas off small rockmelon, ripe lime, green apple cut and rubbed with fresh lemon. There is spice and there is fruit skin; the aromatic exotica is at both once heady and yet balletic. You dance as you drown. The palate is piercing and strident - the acidity and the lush green fruits. A double-pronged attack. Mouth-coating fruit flavours of pear, apple and lemon. Keen acidity sweeps in at the first opportunity making this a white wine that is cutting and clear and long and strong.
Pale, pale-white, pale straw. Aromas are lifted and piercing; slate and sharp honey-suckle. Freshly fallen rain on mountain river pebbles. Lime, limestone, lotus flower, grapefruit. Awakening... Clean and long with zesting acidity - this checks the fine, deep, tense and intense sauvignon blanc fruit core: lime, lemongrass, lantana, gooseberry, fresh lychee, and garden-picked fresh green bean. This hidden fruit depth is also braced by a textural minerality. Pure yet also intriguing
Oak’s almond and baked bread bouquet sneak in, almost undetected. These cooler fruit flavours carry over, adding the cleansing acidity so suited to the palate’s otherwise more giving stone fruit flavours of peach and apricot; other fruits ping, too: mandarin, melon and rockmelon. The oak regime adds just a hint of creaminess, but a mere knife-point in terms of measurement and weight. The texture is welcoming and appealing, balanced in a cautionary way by the stoic acidity.
