“Delicately aromatic Sauvignon Blanc in a restrained bone-dry style. Wild herbs, capsicum and mineral flavours. Racy acidity makes this a particularly good food wine. Classy rather than showy Sauvignon. 4 stars.” Bob Campbell MW
Sparkling gold – green in the glass and a greengrocer’s basket of flavours on the palate – green papaya with a squeeze of lime, pineapple, custard fruit (cherimoya), melons.
Elegant, poised and focused with refreshing acidity. Like all Neudorf Sauvignons, the wine exhibits a strong textural component … the wine is voluminous, expanding across the palate to leave you intrigued and satisfied.
This is not aggressive Sauvignon Blanc…this is another move towards a Sauvignon with class and distinction. A Sauvignon designed for the dinner table.
