Adelaide Hills, South Australia. Sauvignon blanc. 12.5%. Diam. Approx $A25.Last year I tried a trio of pinot noir (1,2,3) from the maker, all interesting wines with distinctive labels and personalities, though once on the tongue they all seemed fleeting and momentary in their appeal. Far more pleasure tonight; a 42 degree (107 F) day, fresh garlic (and basil) from the garden for home made pesto and some new tchotchke to use as props. . . A crooked and busy label and inside something delicious.
Flint and citrus blossom, it seems restrained, though most likely it's too frigid. . . In time the whole cast of players appears - melon, guava, grass, sap, garden weeds, vanilla bean and less typically crushed stones. . . It seems too tart, angular and sharp, but with food, warmth and habituation I can feel more texture and thickness, it's quite savoury; though to end it remains verdant and brightly sappy. Yes.
