Juniper Crossing Original White 2021

Oh my, you get tonnes of lively crunchy fruit in this blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Crunchy passionfruit, guava and a splash of citrus tang make an engaging frontline. It's largely tank fermented, hence the crunchy vibrancy, but around 9% was barrel fermented with a further five months in oak. That oak contribution is an important part of the wine, lifting it to another level of complex interest. Drink: 2022-2024. Score - 91.
