Neil Ellis Groenekloof Sauvignon Blanc, Coastal Region, South Africa 2015 Chateau Potensac The 2018 Clos du RoyFrom dry, bush farmed vines and with no wood contact, the 2015 Groenekloof Sauvignon Blanc was picked a little ripe to reduce any pyrazine elements. It still has fresh gooseberry and nettle scents, with just a touch of asparagus in the background. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry. This is nicely balanced, vivacious and citrus fresh with a taut, almost steely finish that begs another sip. This is a well crafted Sauvignon Blanc. Robert
