This wine offers a clear style contrast to Section 94, the company's complex, barrel-aged Sauvignon Blanc. Hand picked, it is lees aged in tanks, with no exposure to oak. The 2008 vintage is mouthfilling, with good weight and depth of vibrant, ripe, limey, slightly leesy flavours, fresh acidity, and a smooth (4.8 grams/litre of residual sugar), finely balanced finish.
