Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc B 2017 |
A pungent and complex wine displaying intense pink grapefruit, white nectarine, passionfruit and guava characters on the nose. The richly-textured palate features grapefruit and tropical characters with an underlying grassy character and minerality, all bound by a crisp acidity that leads to a lingering finish.
Muted at first, this wine tastes of fresh celery leaf, its leanness expanding with air to a pleasant mid-weight while the greenness turns into broader flavors of mandarin orange, guava and passion fruit. It has a mouthwatering edge that persists through the finish, cleansing and cooling your palate in a similar way a margarita does after raucously spicy food. A vigorous decant or lots of swirling will open its personality.
