Blended of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Semillon, the 2019 L' Esprit de Chevalier Blanc was harvested from the 3rd of September to the 19th of September. The alcohol is 13.5%. It is aging on its lees in French oak barrels, 33% new, for an anticipated 10 months. The nose needs a little swirling to reveal pure, clean notions of Bosc pears, ripe yellow apples and green mango with hints of lime zest and fresh pineapple. Medium-bodied, the palate has invigorating freshness with some citrus notes lifting the tropical fruit flavors on the finish.
