Doolhof Estate Lady in White Reserve Wellington 2010 89+ Points

Pale straw with yellow green reflections.
Clean, medium plus intensity, green lime, citrus medley, pears, apples, white peaches, hints of banana, capsicum spice, honey, subtly wooded with earthy/sandy/granite minerals, complex and layered.
Dry with medium plus acidity, perfect alcohol of 12% abv for such a hot district as Wellington, should be applauded, light oak tannins? fruit follows through, with gooseberries and pineapples, salty minerality evident, precise and focus with elegant structure.
Impressive blend of Chenin Blanc, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc
