David Finlayson Sauvignon Blanc 2023

David Finlayson Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Green apple, flinty and tropical fruit flavours on the nose flow through onto the palate where crisp, clean acidity is met by a creamy midpalate. A softer and rounder version of Sauvignon Blanc than most modern day examples with more than a nod to the French style of the Loire.
