Pike and Joyce Descente Sauvignon Blanc 2004
Delicate aromas of lemon, lime and passionfruit reveal lightly sweaty undertones of cut grass and minerals. The palate is fine and delicate, but falls rather flat and lacks length. It finishes lightly herbal, with toasty impressions of gooseberry and passionfruit flavours.

Winery
Pike and Joyce
This joint venture between Pikes Wines (Clare Valley) and Joyson Orchards (Lenswood) in the Adelaide Hills is responsible for a typically well made and varietally correct collection of elegant cool climate wines. The usually shapely and mineral Chardonnay is usually the flag bearer amongst a fine, pristine collection of white wines, each of which delivers beautiful varietal purity. In particular, the Sauvignon Blanc is a spotless of frequently mineral wine - poles apart from what most Marlborough expressions deliver. The reds are steadily improving, led by some very delicious pinots with pleasing textural and savoury qualities.
