Two bottles Quivet Cellars 2019 Sauvignon Blanc, McGah Vineyard Tokalon Clone1

Wine Profile

Citrus fruit-driven, with lifted notes of lemon rind, grapefruit and crushed rock minerality

Palate Impressions

Glistening straw with steely lemon hues greet the eye while juicy stone fruit, white flowers and clementine jump from the glass. Primarily pineapple and grapefruit on the palate, these juxtapose with very expressive nose of beeswax, apricot and melon. Its rich and oily mineral mouthfeel is followed by tangy acidity with herbal and light crushed gravel elements.
