ChateauSainteMarieEntre-Deux-Mers‘VieillesVignes’202475cl

This is full of character, while gentler than a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand The first impression is of pink grapefruit and gooseberry, with just a suggestion of tomato plant The smell is so appetising that it invites you to take a sip Brisk and mouthwatering on the palate, balanced by some breadth and weight of texture It finishes where it begins with a lovely persistence of pure, zesty citrus flavours Great to drink now, or you can expect it to gain richness of texture over the next 2-3 years
