Askerne 'Noble Kathryn' Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2020, Hawkes Bay
Aromas and flavours of roasted pears and baked apples, flavours on the palate reflect this along with sweet grapefruit and waxy lemon rind. Acidity contrast the sweetness and weight, there’s a creamy textures and flavours of cinnamon and clove spices. Delicious, fresh, balanced and well made with a lengthy finish. What’s not to like, a delicious wine with best drinking from 2023 through 2030.
