"This wine flexes its muscles in a totally lovable way, offering up a heady mélange of pineapple, grapefruit, fresh bell peppers, grass and some salty sea air. The acidity is crisp and zingy, balanced by a slightly slippery texture and finishing on a pleasing grapefruit note."

“The 2017 Origin Sauvignon Blanc has a pleasant gooseberry and nettle bouquet, with just a hint of asparagus in the background. The palate is well balanced, offering a citric thread of acidity and notes of red apple, white peach and gooseberry towards the long finish. Very fine.”
