Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 'Elsa' 2021

The Moss Wood Ribbon Vale 'Elsa' is a sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc seasoned with a touch of Chardonnay. Perfumed with lifted, floral scents of lychees, limes, frangipani and lavender combined with guava lemon curd and caramel and a background of toasty oak notes. The palate is fresh and crisp with medium to full body and lifted acidity, giving a Chablis-like flintiness; there are generous honeydew melon and preserved lemon flavours on the mid palate, making the wine relatively round and generous, with gentle oak tannins on the finish. The bright fruit notes are very attractive and certainly give the wine early drinking appeal. However, the fresh acidity and firm tannin will allow it to cellar for at least 10 years. This will see the palate soften and overall complexity will improve with the emergence of a bottle bouquet of toast and butter.
