Notes
"Sauvignon Blanc 62%, Semillon 28%, Muscadelle 10%.
Wow. This is pretty wild and very intense. Blackcurrant, fresh cut fennel, violets, spice, funk, nettles, lime rind. It’s showtime! Tight and tangy, all grapefruit and passionfruit, a glossy feel, but so flinty and sapid, thistle and zest, flinty texture on a long grapefruit pith finish. This is quite a wine. Embryonic as at now, and it feels so built for ageing. Excellent, but quite a different style for Triolet. I really like it."

Gary Walsh - The Wine Front
"Pungent aromas of guava and other tropical fruits with a backdrop of spicy oak, resulting in a most expressive nose. The wine is lean and highly tensioned in the mouth, with vibrant acidity and high energy, and lots of refreshing properties. It's more sauvignon blanc-varietal than usual. The balance is dry and crisp; a wine that calls for vegetable dishes and cold seafoods."

Huon Hooke - The Real Review
"Barrel fermented and matured for 11 months in used barriques. The length of the palate is akin to that of the chardonnay, and the wine's balance guarantees growth in complexity that will build further over the next 5-plus years. Green apple, pear and lemon citrus intermingle on an already generous palate."
