Hartenberg Sauvignon Blanc 2007

3½ Stars – 2007 John Platter SA Wine Guide
The brilliant colour suggests purity which the wine has in spades. On the nose the wine gives the impression of elegance and the aroma of passion fruit and white asparagus. On the palate the vibrant freshness, purity, weight and fullness are evident and the passion fruit and asparagus flavour leads through to a long soft finish. If stored well the wine will continue drinking well for up to three years from vintage.
