Tabula Rasa #V18W, Adelaide Hills

'Semillon 70%, Sauvignon Blanc 20%, Arneis 6%, Petit Manseng 4%, with about 24 hours of skin contact.
Comes in a cute 500ml crown seal bottle.
Pretty, floral, raw almond, lime, bright, juicy, chalky feel, lemon pith bitterness, a refreshing, quinine-like finish of fair length. It’s charming, but most of all, flat out delicious to drink.'

'Give this time to breathe and it opens up nicely. It’s firm and slightly salty but well fruited. Dry in style. Black cherry and boysenberry with saltbush and dried spices. Mid-weight. Drinks well now but will hold and mature over the medium term as a minimum. Tannin feels ribbed, in a positive way. Balance is exemplary. It’s svelte but dry. There’s pleasure to be had here.'

'Light and just luscious enough to surround all its of its spicy, cumin-edged acidity in sour cherry and plum-pit flavours, as cool as a forest floor'.

‘Mouthwatering, with an intensely juicy backbone to the grapefruit, lime
and pineapple flavours, mingling on the long finish. Drink now. (MW)’.

'Very deep, bright red/purple colour. The aromas are fresh and clean, youthful and berry-like, and in the mouth it is likewise bold, bright, youthful and firm, a little unready but of excellent quality. Traces of cedar and more than a little elegance'.
