Te Mata Estate Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

A world away from your average New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Cape Crest is more at home amongst ripe, toasty Bordeaux Blanc. Vibrant and concentrated with grapefruit, guava, lime zest and lots of herbal character. Toasty and creamy initially on the palate, before the mineral-laden acidity cascades and drives a saline, savoury finish. Luscious citrus and succulent stone fruit slide effortlessly towards a precise and lingering finish of gooseberry, lime and sea salt. Among all the ripe and pure fruit on the palate floats crunchy acidity and complexing grace-notes of dill, coriander, beeswax and woodsmoke.
