NOTES
The Angove family company, Angove's Pty. Ltd., is one of Australia's largest privately owned wine companies and stands as one of the few with strong interests in distilling as well as grape growing and winemaking. The origins of Angove's as a company have more to do with satisfying a way of life rather than a determination to establish a wine and brandy producing business. Dr. William Angove, an accomplished general practitioner and surgeon, with his wife and young family, emigrated from Cornwall in 1886 to establish a medical practice in South Australia.
TASTING NOTES
Pale white gold with attractive olive green hues this wine has a lifted nose of herbaceous varietal Sauvignon Blanc with some riper passionfruit and citrus characters in the background. The complex palate has some fuller gooseberry and passionfruit notes and a long clean finish.
REVIEWS
Skilled winemaking, including the use of a selected yeast, gives the wine clear varietal character in a gently tropical spectrum to start with, finishing with cleansing, grassy acidity. Screwcap. 11.5% alc. Rating 88 James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011
