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.
A very tart and fresh rendering of the variety with chalky, chiseled edges, dry talc notes, sweet spice and faint rosewater characters. Easy drinking kind of style with some good textural elements elevating things. Fun, fresh, good, easy, great.
Attractive expression of riesling imbued with lemon curd, red apple, talc and lime blossom scents. The palate is quite concentrated, almost rich, but cut with briny, grapefruit-juice acidity alongside showing off lime and more red-apple fruitiness. It's long in flavour, persistent in its minerally profile, appealing and ready to roll. Pretty delicious, actually.
Slick and silky, medium-weight chardonnay with lots of spice, tightly wound citrus character, green apple and ginger. Quite frisky and scintillating overall, the leaner profile with spice and savouriness a focus. A sense of elegance, finesse here; this does well as a wine of purity and presence.
