Pale yellow white, excellent clarity. Grapefruit aroma, grapefruit, lemon flavors with a touch of apple. Good acidity, solid varietal character. Good food wine, inexpensive

Quite aromatic, with white peach and dill on the nose. Even some ylang ylang.

On the palate bright and acidic, with a touch of honey initially - this is a relatively dry white with notes of kiwi, melon and grapefruit. White pepper graces an interesting though fairly short finish.

Light body with loads of citrus on the nose and the tongue. Crisp but nothing special. An okay Sauvignon blanc.

Not joking. Smells like fecal matter.

Great Sav Blanc! Highly recommend! Bright acidity, light grapefruit, summer by the glass!

Crisp, yet very very light. More of a Viognier than a Sav Blanc.
