this is just the third sauvignon blanc from stevens (none was made in 2008), sourced from klipsun vineyard and stainless steel fermented. richly textural, with a creamy minerality, this has a pleasing intensity, a sort of nervosity (as the french might put it), limned with a sweet grain character. the fruits are tart and racy, a mix of citrus rind and pulp, tangerine and pineapple, finished with natural acidity.
