Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc, Hawke’s Bay — 2021 – Wine Advocate – 94 Points
94 points
“The wine has aromas of French pear, spring flowers and green apple skins, chalky, talc-y and floral, and there’s freshness and texture. The oak is essentially invisible but lends a texturing hand to the phenolics. Low pH here gives the tension and energy. Sauvignon Gris is a seasoning, offering a strawberry/ tropical note, bison grass, straw and smoked cassis. The clay gives a punchy nettle-y, gooseberry, lantana note.”
