2009 Kidnapper Cliffs Solan ( Sauvignon/ Semillon )
2009 Kidnapper Cliffs Solan ( Sauvignon/ Semillon )
|
|
One of NZ's most talented winemakers, Dr. Neil McCallum (Dry River) has overseen the Kidnapper Cliffs label's first release. As the latest addition to the Julian Robertson family NZ wine, the Kidnapper Cliffs 17ha Hawke's Bay vineyard has been parceled out from Te Awa's mature vine holdings, specifically selected for its free draining soil and consistent production of high quality fruit. "A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Rich, weighty and dry - the Semillon component clearly contributes to the wine's impressively viscous mouth feel. Tree fruit/nectarine/white peach flavours with nutty lees adding a further dimension of complexity. Blending Semillon into Hawke's Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a logical but inspired direction that others are likely to follow. This is not the first example of such a blend but it is clearly the best I have tasted." 93/100 Bob Campbell
