A late ripening season has resulted in zesty gooseberry bound tightly in white floral aromas, with a hint of dried hay. Ripe gooseberry and savoury floral notes introduce the wine before moving into a linear flowing mid-palate. There is a nice touch of urgency with more herbs and quince notes on the finish. This wine is ideal for sensible summer evening drinking. Mt Difficulty Sauvignon Blanc will improve for 3-5 years given optimal cellaring conditions.

Gentle aromas of lime, white nectarine, light toastiness. The palate is crisp, with good acidity and a decent body. Vaguely reminiscent of Chablis.

Nose: The nose offers subtle and elegant aromas of passionfruit and snow peas. Palate: The palate is smooth but lively with delightful tropical fruit flavours, followed by a crisp and refreshing finish.
