Fforte composed by Eaton Definition Sauvignon Blanc 2020, Marlborough
It takes a few minutes for the bouquet of this wine to fully open - when it does aromas of chalk and clay, lemon and yellow apple, sweet grapefruit and peach emerge. There’s a light natural dried herb quality with scents of bracken and hay. On the palate an intense wine with the flavours from barrel synergies showing, a sweetness of wood and lees ageing combine with fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet, spice and mineral. A lengthy dry finish with persistent flavours and textures, complex and delicious. great drinking from 2023 through 2029.
