Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc opens with a green bell pepper, asparagus, and gooseberry bouquet hints of wet stone. On the palate, this wine is light bodied and nicely balanced. We also thought is was delicate and low acidity for a Sauvignon Blanc. The flavor profile is mild mineral and light gooseberry blend with notes of lime zest and hints of pink grapefruit pith and green apple. The finish is dry and refreshing. The Panel would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with a bay scallop casserole or fried clams. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Energy on the nose with lime, gooseberry and lemon. Higher citrus blossom notes work within lime leaf, Thai basil and fennel bulb. Sweeter, yet savory spice notes of cardamom, galangal and chamomile offer subtle complexity. A clean, fresh and vibrant palate featuring punchy native finger limes, cut lemons and guava, which layers between subtle texture and diligent oak through the mid palate with commendable length and a defined acid structure.
