Vasse Felix Sauvignon Blanc 2023

APPEARANCE
Pale yellow with a green and bronze tinge.

NOSE
Pretty floral notes and enticing tropical fruits are layered with savoury, earthy complexity, signalling a distinctive and alternative style of Sauvignon Blanc. Notes of frangipani, lantana, blackcurrant, feijoa and the savoury tones of dried shitake, sandalwood and chicory coffee.

PALATE
A pure, softly textured palate, creamy yet fresh and crunchy. Durian fruit softness with feijoa, blackcurrant, mango and tarragon. The finish is lightly tannic and dry, reminiscent of pear skin, with a lingering subtle hint of exotic sandalwood incense.
