critic reviews
Readers will enjoy the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc not only for its punch and zest, but also its concentration. It's fresh, light on its feet and redolent of elderflower, gooseberry, pineapple and citrus – not as tropical as in most years due to an untimely cyclone. The 2023 is perhaps not as ripe or rich as usual, but it’s a reflection of the vintage and very well done, all things considered.
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is from the Pencarrow Vineyard and Palliser Vineyard. Ten percent of the fruit was fermented in old barrels. On the nose, this leads with lemon verbena, kiwi fruit, hints of cassis and white pepper. Warm lemonade and white spice are in the aromatics. In the mouth, the acidity is tight and refreshing, saline. This is a fleshy wine. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. 2023 was a tough vintage There was lots of rain, but I've seen some very successful whites so far, so do hold fire on hasty/negative assessment of the season until further notice.
