A cooler growing season brought fresh acidity and vibrant fruit character to this vintage of our Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. Big red grapefruit on the nose with subtle tropical fruit notes and a hint of oak spice. The palate is fresh and racy with mouth watering acidity delicately framed with creamy oak notes. A wash of flavours including grapefruit, peach, lemon and vanilla. Best now to 2014.

Reviews

"At the complete other end of the Sauvignon Blanc spectrum sits this wine. The defining style comes from the two to three years in Mercury oak barrels (French Burgundian oak). Just wonderful on the nose with gooseberry, grapefruit, vanilla and citrus rind. It’s fresh yet spicy and still showing grassy-herbs but in a more elegant style. Compare this to the more tropical, fleshy version from 2007." Score: 92 Points, Rick VanSickle, Wines In Niagara
