Peter Yealands Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Review
The nose is lean with wafting aromas of under ripe bell pepper and pear. The aromas are aggressive and they carry to the palate, which is lean as well, save for some residual sugar making it a little bit sweet. It’s good for casual sipping when wine is not the focus.
