2022 | Jules Taylor | Sauvignon Blanc

Very pale yellow. On the nose fragrant notes of elderflower, guava and mint jump out of the glass, followed by hints of oregano and thyme layered with passionfruit and citrus. This in-your-face drop captures the essence of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Concentrated citrusy notes of lime zest and tropical guava combine with a lick of wet stones. The palate is dry and gives way to a lip-smacking, mouth-watering finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: A heady perfume of white grapefruit, passionfruit and lemon-lime lead on this attractive Sauvignon. The telltale varietal green herbaceous character is there, too. The palate is dry and balanced with limey, passionfruit freshness straight to the finish. A great example of why this wine style never goes out of fashion.

• James Suckling: Aromas of peaches, passion fruit and poppy seed. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and fresh mineral undertones. Gentle tannins guide the peachy and tropical palate through to a refreshing finish.
