Vintage Wine Cellar (Amanda): "This aroma wine shows lifted flavours of black currant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops."


My Review: This Sauvignon Blanc had a very powerful pear aroma and "cat pee" smell.There were hints of honey and an overall Earthy smell that opened up the wine. The wine had a spicy and sour taste that was rather overwhelming. The wine had a very tart taste and a short, but decent finish. Overall not a bad wine, but I most definitely have had better.
