This is still as fresh as a daisy! Katnook wines are all extremely good wines. A big statement but it is well deserved. Sauvignon Blanc has grown in leaps and bounds due to NZ but a growing number are switching back to try the quality Aussie savvies bring to the putting green!
Here is a beauty; serious depth in the pallet, with full aromatics providing grassy yet tropical notes along with some stone fruit. The palate brings to life sensory delight, like a an eagle on a long par 5, only easier to get! The mouth fills with excellent guava and stone ripe peach and still tickles the senses without running out of puff in the finish. Seriously a long, straight, 5 wood all the way from tee to green and you will be delighted.
A pleasant way to enjoy this wine is while watching YouTube videos of Greg Norman's final round of the US Masters in 1996. As you witness the Great White Shark implode, sit back and enjoy this fine wine, safe in the knowledge that somewhere in Queensland a young Adam Scott was watching it live on TV, promising to himself that one day he'd make amends.
"I hope I'm remembered for shooting 67 and not for what happened to Greg. But obviously, this will be remembered for what happened to Greg." - Nick Faldo after donning the green jacket in 1996.
