Mission Hill Select Lot Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFresh green apple, passion fruit, pink grapefruit nose with butter, vanilla and pea shoot aromas. Crisp, juicy, elegant palate with some youthful austerity. Fine gooseberry, white raspberry, green apple, nettle, passion fruit and floral, vanilla flavours. A touch lean at this stage but with solid finesse. A wonderful nervosa tension that will hold it in fine stead for the next few years.
