Pure, fine and restrained, but with stunning length and style. This is serious and sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc, as it can be.
REVIEW
Intense, sweaty, concentrated ... this is a rippling pool of flavour. The oak impact is significant (as usual), meaning it is built to last. Margaret River excels at concentrated sauvignon blanc and this big, oaky style is becoming more and more prevalent, led by a cohort of brilliant, skilled producers – one of whom is Flowstone's Pym. So: here we have quenching wine, stuffed to the gills with salted pineapple, crunchy, ripe Granny Smith apples, saline acidity ... and lots of other good green things. Delicious. 96 Points

TASTING NOTE
Appearance: white-gold, with pale green highlights.Aroma: Elderflowers, guava, whole passionfruit, and a subtle underlying creamy note. There is a purity and restraint about this. Palate: Focussed, elegant, yet still intense – absolute balance. There is a finesse, but great length of flavour, and the palate continues to build.
