The cold never bothered me anyway.

Here’s an interesting wine, and a different expression of Sauvignon compared with your usual Margaret River styles. It’s all lime and lemon curd, honey and florals, fennel fronds, and gingersnap biscuits. It’s soft and creamy, a suggestion of butterscotch pudding and banana, but with balanced limey acidity, fine chalk dust texture, and a juicy and flavoursome finish of cool composure and fine length. Really like this. A mellifluous expression of Sauvignon and so nicely done.
