Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc
Hillersden Sauvignon Blanc 2016 Review
This subdued Sauvignon Blanc has Old World influence, despite its home on Savvy-B’s most famous island. Subtle, freshly-sliced apple and bitter greens waft on the nose, while soft grapefruit and fresh lime tingle on the palate. There’s richness and texture here, balanced by clean acidity.
