Shaw and Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaThe '09 S&S sauvignon may be the best we have tasted. Suitably intense and subtle-ly herbal, this handpicked white is an Adelaide signpost. Thirty days of lees contact adds to the texture and mouthfeel of this bright, zesty citrus, passion fruit, nettle scented and flavoured white that has infinite food possibilities. Love the chalky slate notes in the back end. Well done.Tasted: 21 November 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $35.00 | 750ml | Everything Wine |
