Here’s a wine that’s long on aromatic development and fresh breezy flavor – both things being specialties of winemaker Alex Holman. Pink grapefruit, ripe melon and lemon with a dash of grass flood your senses and finish crisply after a pleasantly rich midpalate. This is the kind of Sauvignon Blanc that makes a day in the sun feel worthwhile!
