2011 Sauvignon Blanc David Lawrason

“This slender young sauvignon is cucumber cool, with a reserved nose of green pear, nettle and gooseberry – very much more like a Loire/Sancerre rendition than New Zealand. It’s light to medium bodied, lean and fresh with an unusual flavour mindful of miso amid the lime, kiwi and grapefruit on the finish. The finish is tart and mouth-watering, the length is excellent. Best later in 2012 to 2015.” (Tasted April 2012)
