Tasting
Note : |
Made by O'Leary Walker, the fruit for this Sauvignon Blanc was sourced from Block 33 - a unique vineyard in the Adelaide Hills with very rocky subsoil. Combined with a lengthy cool growing season, this produced fruit of premium quality. Aromas of tropical lychee and passionfruit, typical Adelaide Hills. The palate is typically sauvignon blanc in style with limey citrus like qualities, well complemented by soft barrel fermented flavours. The finish is tight, crisp and refreshing. Perfect summer drinking.

Tasting
Note : |
| Ripe citrus and tropical fruits underpinned by a degree of minerality

excellent balance between fruit and acidity. Ideally enjoyed as a
young wine but may be cellared for several years. |

Note : |
| Citrus, green apples and tropical flavours fly out of nowhere.
Typical Marlborough grassiness sitting harmoniously in the
background with lychee, passionfruit and nettle. A long, lively,
almost spritzy finish which adds to the freshness and enjoyment
factor. Will even stand up to a spicy green papaya salad. |

Note : |
Crisp and fresh with typical Marlborough style. Aromatic, with
citrus, tropical fruit and a little fresh-cut grass tingling the
nostrils. Plenty of zesty fruit flavours, including lemons, limes
mangoes and tangy passionfruit. A fine stream of fresh acid runs
through the fruit from start to finish, getting the juices flowing
for the accompanying food. Spicy Thai is the go with this.

Note : |
A top vintage in 2009 has produced a brilliant Marlborough sauvignon blanc. Textbook aromas of green grass and citrus. Flavours of lemons, lime and a fresh tumble of tropical fruits and passionfruit. Zesty with beautiful fresh acidity and some classy minerality. Excellent length and extremely moreish.

Note : |
| Restrained herbaceousness makes way for intense lime and lemon
sherbert with spring blossoms. Spurts of tropical passionfruit,
papaya and green apple are polished off with refreshing clean acid
and flinty minerality. Excellent length. Fascinating, almost
riesling-like qualities. Lovely with grilled fish. |
