Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc Single Vineyard Graham Vineyard

Mild nose of lemon and coriander, which soon fades into gunpowder. Palate opens with sweet, syrupy flavours of passion fruit and pineapple, verging on being too sweet. The mid-palate brings balance, with strong, fizzy acidity and sulfurous notes of fried egg and onion. The palate has two elements (sugar and sulfur) that are a bit awkward and off-putting on their own, but they balance each other well. Past its prime, but doing quite well for a 13-year-old Sauvignon Blanc.
