Probably the best of the 3 Sauv Blancs from Znovin tasted this week. I would be advocating for earlier picking as 2011 was very hot vntage and you can see that the wine has 13.0% alcohol and still it has slight residual sugar, which should probably be 2.0g/l less to show the grassy and currant character present in the nose as well as in the taste.
