As always, this wine is almost water white at bottling. As the wine ages, it will pick up pale green and gold tints. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at full throttle! There is masses of passionfruit and nectarine along with herbal nuances and a touch of sweat for complexity. This wine is full bodied for a Sauvignon Blanc. It retains the typical racy acidity of the variety, but also has mid palate richness and loads of sweet fruit on the finish.
