5 | Wine | Sauvignon Blanc, South Africa

"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."

"Upfront tropical flavours with underlying supporting green pepper and vegetative flavours. Acid is clean and fresh on palate with lingering fruity after taste".

"Ripe but well-focused, with straw, white peach, kiwifruit pulp and pink grapefruit notes all wound together and extending through the well-defined finish. Very solid, this should mellow with modest cellaring."

"Flavors of passion fruit, melon, gooseberry and lime are supported by herbal notes and a mineral edge that displays an elegance typical of cool climate Sauvignon Blanc."

"Enticing citrus and tropical fruit aromas lead to fresh, zesty flavors of pineapple, lemon-lime, mango and green fig, backed by a racy acidity. Herbal undertones shine through on the mineral-tinged finish."
