Highlands Road Sauvignon Blanc FREE RUN 2008

Tasting notes:
Very pale straw coloured with a hint of green.

On the nose, the distinct Elgin Sauvignon Blanc aromas of, cut grass, flinty gravel, fresh bell peppers with a slight herbal edge.

On the palate, a lovely follow through from the nose of the fruits, and the flint and mineral
elements blend awesomely with the racy, bouncy acidity to give this wine a perfectly balanced mouthfeel and a good lingering finish.

This wine will benefit from aging for a year or two.

AWARDS
John Platter Wine Guide
4.5 stars &
Good Value rating

ageing : The naturally high acidity, & organic & phenolic ripening resultant from the cool climate, gives this wine the ability & advantage to age well over 3+ years, while still maintaining structure & balance, along with fruitiness & zesty appeal.
