Guardian Peak Sauvignon Blanc 2012

Appearance: Light straw with a pale green hue.
Aroma: An initial impression of tropical fruit is backed up with elegant gooseberry and lime notes. There is a hint of flintiness that generates an impression of a complex, yet refreshing wine.
Palate: This wine shows fantastic follow through from the nose. The combination of fresh minerality, and tropical fruit, enhanced by the fresh lime finish creates a beautiful, balanced wine.
Impression: "A crisp and light Sauvignon Blanc perfect for a summers afternoon on the Guardian Peak deck."
