Hewitson Lu Lu Sauvignon Blanc 2013
Quite a sophisticated example of a variety not well known for this attribute Its delicate but fruit-driven with a fresh slightly nutty bouquet of gooseberries and melon over nuances of lychees and cassis Initially round and luscious it becomes measured and evenly paced down the palate revealing a hint of minerality and a trace of oak before finishing with creamy savoury and faintly meaty complexity

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.
