Moderately concentrated, tangy and quite herbaceous sauvignon blanc with capsicum, lemongrass and gooseberry flavours with a restrained tropical fruit influence. Nice purity, texture and length

This youthful sauvignon has attractive lime-leaf and fresh-herb aromas with passion fruit and a succulent, fine and fresh lime finish. Immediate enjoyment here.

Wine Enthusiast
This vintage delivers appealing aromas
of stone fruit, honeysuckle and wet stone, with only the slightest vegetal tone. There’s a lovely play between the creamy texture and crunchy acidity on the palate, highlighting flavors of orchard fruit, salt and snow pea. It finishes long, with stony minerality. *Editors’ Choice* (CP)

A vibrant mix of pineapple, mango and citrus flavors on a smooth, medium body, with plenty of vibrant acidity. Appealing details of orange zest and green apple skin add complexity. (MW)

The warmest vintage on record in Marlborough, 2018 also saw plenty of rain, including three inches during harvest. This Sauvignon is perhaps the most 'typical' wine in the range, using mostly cultured yeasts and stainless steel for a fresh, zesty Sauvignon with lime and nettle scents. The subtly textured palate is crisp and full of guava, blackcurrant leaf and a touch of passion fruit. There's a nice stony quality on the finish, with good length. (JB)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc shows restrained aromas of fig and melon on the nose, followed by ripe notes of nectarine on the palate. It's medium to full-bodied and richly textured, with a long, silky finish. (JC)
