TWR Te Whare Ra

TWR Te Whare Ra Sauvignon Blanc 2015 Marlborough
Very fragrant bouquet with aromas of fresh pineapple, white peach, crisp red apple and white flowers; a very real energy at the core with a lick of wild ferment and sweet herbs; perhaps a touch of snow pea. On the palate - dry, fresh, crisp and packed with flavour - lots of citrus and tree fruit flavours then white stone fruits and a little honeysuckle; touch of spice; high acidity and lengthy finish. A tasty and totally drinkable example - drink now and through 2017.
