Crittenden Estate 2011 Geppetto

Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon
Region/G.I.: Port Phillip, Mornington Peninsula
Vintage: 2011
Alcohol: 12.5%
Bouquet: Without being overpowering, a nice balance of fruit (gooseberry, passionfruit) with grassy aromas
Flavour: Lovely acidity balancing citrus flavour in the mouth
Points: 84
Notes: From a region I think is over-rated for the Pinot Noirs that it produces, comes this very enjoyable classic white blend. It's a nice change to have something with a bit of subtlety when it comes to Sav Blanc. Through the wine club it was $15.50 (~278 kc)

  1. Interested in your comment that you think the pinot noirs of the region are over-rated ... Any particular ones?
