Pillar Box White 2008

Pillar Box White 2008While red is the Pillar Box colour de rigueur around the world, variations to this standard do exist. One of the more interesting examples is that of White Pillar Boxes, so painted during the wartime “Black out” in England to stop pedestrians bumping into them at night.

The Sauvignon Blanc from the Henry’s Drive vineyards was of extremely high quality in 2008 – it greatly contributes to the fresh lively aromas of limes, grapefruit, kiwi fruit, spicy fennel and a touch of grassiness found in the 2008 Pillar Box White. The Verdelho expresses itself through a little pineapple and lychee fruit, as well as textural complexity on the palate, while the Chardonnay impacts on palate weight and the overall smoothness of the wine.  The palate displays characteristic Sauvignon Blanc crispness and flinty mineral acidity, an attractive depth of fruit flavor and a persistent finish.
