2008 The Leap Sauvignon Blanc
From Winemaker, Justin McNamee/ Mike Just
A truly unique wine, displaying intense aromas of elderberry and chamomile flower and a palate with extended layers of fruit characters. It offers a fresh and zesty citrus mouth feel with texture and persistence. Classic New Zealand aromatic lift underpinned by distinct Adelaide Hills palate definition.
This is an aromatic, persistant wine that is full flavoured. It lends itself well to a wide variety of foods, including grilled chicken and veal, or whole baked fish. A favourite match of ours is seared free range chicken with garlic, rosemary and a Sauvignon Blanc reduction. This and other recipes are on our recipes page.
