2020 Tement Sauvignon Blanc Only Sansibar

Tasting note

2020 Tement Sauvignon Blanc Only Sansibar

Vinolok glass closure. Pale straw-yellow. Fresh, firm fruit on the nose with pear, gooseberry, and a subtle exotic touch of honeydew melon and passion fruit — never cloying. The green, herbaceous Sauvignon note is present but restrained, supported by a chalky, calcareous minerality. On the palate, light and fresh with lively acidity and juicy fruit ranging from green apple to citrus. More herbaceous (tomato leaf) than on the nose. Good, slightly tart finish — citrusy with a hint of red berry. Overall, finely juicy and very drinkable. Good.

Drink through 2027.
