Very correct, cool-climate Leyda Sauvignon Blanc, hence the fresh citrus and blackcurrant-leaf aromatics and nice racy acidity. There’s also some ripe, mouthfilling weight and texture on the mid-palate, with some well-judged gooseberry and citrus fruit alongside a touch of grassiness. Drinking well now.
