Overall score: 83

Tne bouquet of this wine is far better than the taste, I have extreme sensitivity for what I call green tones and I can feel them in a taste. I suspect it must be due to the fact that the grapes were not quite ripe when harvested (notice quite low alcohol for new world). The score is mainly given its bouquet, which is very nice and also comparing to Sauvignon Blanc tasted here it is better balanced in case of alcohol content. I got it for CZK 150.
