Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from Cliff Lede opens with a very shy faint lemon and bread dough bouquet with hints of yellow plum, Macoun apple, and white florals. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and slightly viscous. The flavor profile is a stone dust and muskmelon blend with notes of green olive and passionfruit. We also detected hints of almond, green tea, and white pepper. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity are nicely extended. We would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with chicken marbella or schnitzel. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: The lovable 2024 vintage of our Sauvignon Blanc offers complex hints of lime sherbet, honeysuckle, lemon curd, and orange blossom that are fragrant and complex. The flavors and aromas are built on a fleshy, succulent frame, with notes of nectarine, pear, and ripe honeydew melon. Harmonious with a thread of acidity on the finish, this vibrant wine dazzles with its refreshing appeal. – Christopher Tynan, Director of Winemaking
