Spy Valley Envoy Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Powerful and complex at once, the intensely aromatic bouquet shows Granny Smith apple, jalapeno, kaffir lime and flinty characters, leading to an immensely concentrated palate that delivers outstanding depth and persistency. It’s fabulously structured by fine texture and firm acidity, finishing impressively long and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2026. Score – 96. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, July 2020)
