"Light, crisp, and highly aromatic, the warmer climate Alexander Valley fruit gives this wine ripe peach, tangerine, and pineapple character, while the ocean cooled Russian River Valley fruit offers citrus, lemon grass, and slightly herbaceous qualities."

"Pale straw-yellow. Grapefruit, melon, lemon and papaya aromas lifted by a minty nuance. Bright, savory and laid-back, with racy acidity giving excellent cut to the fruit, honeysuckle and subtle mineral flavors. A lovely hint of semillon richness blends nicely with the vibrant sauvignon. This could use a year of patience. Incidentally, this winery is called Shannon Vineyards in South Africa."

"This wine presents with attractive pale yellow hues speared by notes of youthful greens. Crisp, bright grapefruit and lime dominate the aromatics and are complemented with a hint of caper and lemon zest. Flavors of fresh lime and grapefruit persist with elements of kiwi, citrus and caper. This is a rich, generous and vibrant white wine with a brilliant, crisp finish."

"The 2012 Mohua Sauvignon Blanc exhibits lifted aromatics of lime and citrus zest, melon and lemongrass. The palate has pure intense flavours of passion fruit and white peach, ripe lemon and fresh herb."

"Clear golden green reflections. Pronounced vinous nose recalling dried fruits and licorice. Nice and full, accentuated by a ripe lemonlike crispness."
