Wine tasting review

The finish is skinny, mineral-leesy and bright, suggesting this will age well. Fresh and minerally. The wine has a silky smooth texture with red and blue tones in the bouquet. Great promise for the future.


Wine enthusiast acclaim

Pale and clear as water. But the aroma is like a fruit bomb! You will find passion fruit, and gooseberries, and blackcurrant leaves. Well done. Very nice Sauvignon Blanc by Island Bay.

Wow. Delicious young wine. Multi layers of fruits. Continuously evolves in a glass. Unlike the description here the acidity is actually medium+. This balances the sweetness of the wine very well. Vanilla, cherry, cassis, plum, cedar, chocolate and more. Slightly jammy but not cloying at all.

Refreshing, mineral and asian pear and floral. A bit sweet but not too sweet. Would buy it again.

Skøn afbalanceret frugtig uden at være for sød... Lækkert til en fredagspizza i december 👌
