Top Notes For

9.0

Smooth buttery fruity wine with a kick of citrus to balance it. It's got a lingering minerality that adds a slightly savoury finish to balances the passionfruit.
At £11 this feels just about worth the price but you could find as good a touch cheaper, for example the Majestic definition Sauv Blanc, which is fruitier.
In short, a great example of a Sauv and well worth drinking.
