The 2012 The Broken Fishplate Sauvignon Blanc opens with intense notes of asparagus, capsicum and newly-mown grass with underlying lemon juice and green apple hints. Light to medium-bodied with a very good intensity of primarily herbal flavors, the citrus fruit shines through in the long, zesty finish. Drink it now to 2014.
