Green apple and elderflower, definite traces of the dominance of Sauvignon Blanc with 60% of the blend topped up by 20% each of Sauvignon Gris and Semillon. Bright and high toned, clean and clear, citrus fruits, lots of lemon and lime with some bitter orange flecks. Enjoyable and racy. Nice clean crip on the finish, some weight and texture with a lemon and lime zing.
