Vintage Cellar's Notes: 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.
I detected hints of petroleum in the smell of this wine. It smelled citrusy and acidic as well. Tasted a lot better than I thought it would after smelling it. A little bit of rotten fruit taste came through, it was quite acidic. It tasted fruity, especially like citrus. It was a good refreshing white, even though normally I am not a fan of Sauvignon Blancs.
