Appearance
-
Pale straw colour with subtle green hues (vibrant and youthful).
Aroma (Nose)
-
Passionfruit and tropical fruit aromas.
-
Floral notes — sometimes described as orange blossom or other florals.
-
Light herbaceous tones (nettles, green capsicum/herbs).
-
Citrus nuances (grapefruit or citrus zest).
Palate (Taste)
-
Juicy fruit-forward flavours (passionfruit, citrus, possibly lychee/ honeydew notes on some bottle descriptions).
-
Balanced acidity — lively but integrated.
-
Some texture and weight on the mid-palate from brief oak influence and phenolic development, giving a roundness that isn’t typical of very lean Sauvignon Blanc styles.
-
Mineral undertones and subtle savoury/herbaceous hints.
Style & Pairing
-
A style blending New World fruit intensity with a touch of Old World-like restraint and balance, making it versatile with food.
-
Works particularly well alongside seafood, salads with citrus dressings, grilled fish, or lighter poultry dishes.
Overall Impression
-
Elegant yet approachable, with fruit purity complemented by fresh acidity and textural interest — offering both vibrancy and food-friendly structure.
