Geoff Weaver’s first plantings of sauvignon blanc were in ’78. This has texture and interest on its side, elevating the variety to something special and more substantial. It does show off benchmark characters of lime, passionfruit and just-ripe pineapple with sniffs of cut grass and basil herbal elements. The palate follows suit similarly, but with more depth than expected, a clatter of limey-briny acidity amongst fruitiness and subtle river-pebble mineral notes. It floods the senses, finishing long and refreshing. Very good.
