In other news, the 2011 essenze Sauvignon Blanc was rated 91 points by Tyson Stelzer on Wine Taste, “The Essenze of 2011 has just landed on Aussie turf, with all the verdant freshness of young kiwi sauv. Good definition of crunchy green apples, vibrant lime drops and a fine, tight, refreshingly dry finish. Skillfully crafted and insane value for money.”
