2012 Cape Mentelle Sauvignon/Semillon

(made from a 55/45 blend): Pale yellow. Lively aromas of lemon zest, green apple and white flowers, with a chalky mineral overtone. Dried citrus and orchard fruit flavors show good concentration and focus, with a gingery note adding bite. Clean and brisk on the finish, with lingering notes of tangy lemon zest and a subtle herb nuance.
