Hewitson Lu Lu Sauvignon Blanc 2012
A complex savoury sauvignon blanc whose grassy rather vegetal aromas of gooseberries melon and creamy nutty undertones are lifted by scents of white flowers and backed by an appealing funkiness Round and generous with almost an oily presence of gooseberry melon and passionfruit flavour underpinned by creamy leesy notes its a more interesting and intriguing example of this variety

Winery
Hewitson
Dean Hewitson's wines reflect a technical stability and correctness plus a level of artisanship rare in Australian wine. His wines are so much more perfumed, restrained and elegant than most wines from the Barossa and McLaren vale, but deliver a lustrous intensity that only great vineyards can achieve. There's a true house style here, which is the envy of most small producers the world over. No wines reflect this better than the two mourvŹdres, each of which can produce a fragrance, purity and silkiness more commonly experienced with pinot noir.
