Idiom Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon 2012

A wine with elegant poise and finesse. Light pale yellow colour with a tinge of green. A delicate mix of lemon, granadilla and peach notes on the nose. An intriguing array of flinty, grassy and tropical fruit flavours follow through on the palate. The clean crisp stone fruit finish refreshes the taste buds.
