Porcupine Ridge Sauvignon blanc 2021
Description
The nose is vibrant and inviting with its aromas of apple, lime and greengage and subtle whiffs of lemon verbena and elderflower. The palate shows more tropical fruit and interesting flavours reminiscent of a Thai green papaya salad, with hints of fresh pineapple and gooseberry. The mid-palate is round and smooth with a refreshingly tangy, yet integrated, acidity. The finish is clean, dry and crisp with notes of nettles, lemongrass and sherbet lingering on the palate.
