Aromatic, tropical textured wine. Great flavors of ripe pineapple and mango balance with more green fruit characters and a twist of lime. The wood flavors are well restrained, offering just a touch of final spice.

An obviously new-wood-aged wine, with a modern mint flavor and sweet wood tannins. It is very structured, still young, its spice and dark chocolate flavor going well with the black fruits. Age this complex wine for 3–4 years.

Fine, subtle wood here, with acidity that sits well with the melon, greengage and green plum juiciness. The wine has a great layer of spice, and a rich aftertaste.

Firmly tannic wine, a blend of two naturally tannic grapes. Their acidity provides a counter-balance, giving a black fruit underlay, spice from wood and a dry as well as juicy aftertaste.

Smooth, rich style of wine, very ripe in character. It feels soft, with tropical flavors and good acidity. There is a great final citrus cut.

Serious, firmly tannic wine that shows a solid structure to go with the black currant fruit. It has power, although well balanced with its acidity. A firm, dark aftertaste suggests further aging.

A fat-feeling wine that has definite richness and sweet pear and apricot fruit flavors. It is ripe, full in the mouth, more of a food style.

On the tropical side of Sauvignon Blanc, the wine is packed with great acidity, and a fresh, creamy texture. It’s as clean as a whistle, a delight to drink.
