2018 | Alpha Estate | Ecosystem Sauvignon Blanc Fume

Brilliant light yellow color with greenish hints. Intense and rich nose, typical of the variety, with citrus, passion fruit, honeydew and hints of oak. Full mouth, creamy, with excellent balance, freshness and finesse. Persistent after taste aromas with long finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Aged 7 months in barrique, this white begins with an orange marmalade and lemon compote nose. It's fruity in style but with an appealing smoky finish. The overall character is mouthfilling but its clean edge keeps it lively.
