Bright, lifted citrus aromatics of kaffir lime and grapefruit abound, supported by ripe nectarine-like stone fruit notes.An elegant, concentrated palate reveals ripe, juicy stone fruit and lemongrass, supported by a lovely minerality. Cloudy Bay 2017 Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent vintage that reveals an elegant and concentrated palate with ripe, juicy stone fruit and lemongrass, supported by a lovely minerality. Its crisp acidity leads to a mouth-watering and persistent finish suggesting a Sauvignon Blanc that will age well. Tim Heath – Senior Winemaker T he Sauvignon Blanc 2017 harvest commenced on April 1st and was completed on April 20th. Grapes were picked with ripe flavours and great acid balance. \”Steely, herbal, green capsicum and passionfruit perfume. Pretty lean in its scent. Crisp and delicate in the palate, zingy and fresh expression runs to a very tart, tangy, lemon sherbet finish. No denying the vivacity and freshness, but is a little firm-sour-acid driven too.\” 88 Points – Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, June 2018, Drink: 2018 – 2020
