Tasting - Oxford Landing Estates Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Oxford Landing Estates Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: South Australia
Country: Australia
Year: 2014
Price: $8

Winery Review: Pale straw in colour with a vibrant light green hue, this refreshingly crisp Sauvignon Blanc has zesty aromas of lemongrass, green papaya and freshly cut grass. The light and lively palate displays citrus clarity with layers of tropical fruit, lemongrass and passionfruit. A beautifully balanced wine with fine, crunchy natural acidity, leaving a refreshing, crisp finish.

My Review:
This was an interesting little wine. The aromas weren't necessarily big but crisp. I was getting a lot of green fruit on the nose. The taste was interesting with some green apple working with possibly mango and lemon. It was well-balanced with nothing really dominating it. The finish was crisp but short with just a bit of acidity.
