2013 is a particularly approachable vintage for Geoff Weaver’s Sauvignon, an early harvest that has produced an open and accessible style of lovely precision and accurate definition. Cool, high altitude minerality and texture accent a taut palate of fragrant lemon blossom, pink lady apple and pink grapefruit notes.
James Halliday: 95 Pale straw-green; year in, year out, one of the most elegant (and most reliable) sauvignon blancs on the market; kiwi fruit, citrus and a dab of white peach drive the fragrant bouquet and fresh palate, the finish dry and almost savoury. Prior history shows the wine does not have to be consumed immediately.
