Henry of Pelham The Shadow Rock Sauvignon Blanc 2024 2024

Henry of Pelham tends to let this atypical cool climate friendly variety hang a bit longer in the vineyard to achieve a riper profile and less of those grassy/thiol qualities found in New Zealand. This teems with grapefruit, pear, melon and some spice notes from light oak aging. It has a creamy texture and weight on the palate with ripe pear, kiwi, grapefruit, integrated spice notes and vanilla on a lifted, vibrant finish. (Rick VanSickle,winesinniagara.com,July 23, 2024)
