Porcupine Ridge Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Pale with hints of green. Immediate inviting nose of gooseberries and tropical fruit. Lively entry to the palate where more of the varietal characters persist. Fresh and forwards, crisp and well balanced with good mid-palate weight and generous length. Good lunchtime Sauvignon.
