Clark Estate Clericus Ferox SB-101 Sauvignon Blanc 2018, Marlborough

Varietal, fresh, intense, but not pungent. Aromas and flavours of lemon and apple, spice and tropical fruit with fresh mango and passion-fruit the some wet stone minerality. Crisp, tense and dry on the palate with mouth-watering acidity, a core of fruit centering on citrus then tropical. Fresh, youthful, balanced and well made. A wine that could do with some cellar time - to curb the intensity of acidity and allow the subtle oak nuances to gather some presence. Best drink from late 2021 through 2023+.
