Aromas of blackcurrant and citrus with white florals, minty herbals and a touch of smoke. Immediate fruit attack on entry - mandarin, red apples, passionfruit that then moves through the spectrum to lime, lemon and feijoa/herbals. Tropical and textured with freshness and length. Can be enjoyed with a variety of food. Serve it with veal, seafood (brilliant with oysters) or a chicken dish such as a mild chicken korma with crispy poppadoms.

A succulent hint of lanolin and beeswax complements the floral and citrus notes in this white, with touches of candied orange peel, lemon balm and white grapefruit on an intense and mouthwatering frame. Drink now. 80,000 cases made, 13,000 cases imported.

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Black Label is a well-judged style with attractive fruit. It is nicely textured, almost chewy, with some decent substance through its bright, firm care. It has attractive flavors of gooseberry, elderflower and passion fruit that combine well. Five months on lees rounds out its edges and also lends some flesh to the light-bodied palate.
