Wise Owl

Wise Owl 'Hooting White' 2013 13%
No grape varieties suggested on the label - so here goes!
Aromas of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc lead the bouquet with hints of white fleshed Pinot Gris fruits then perhaps a little Riesling with the mandarin note and a touch of Viognier or Gewurztraminer suggested as spice-note -  Who knows!
On the palate - just dry with flavors that reflect the nose; medium+ acidity; a refreshingly simple palate with lively fruit flavors - balanced and well made.
