Reviewed April 2023Pristine and fabulously aromatic with rockmelon, kiwifruit, feijoa and lime zest aromas, it's succulent and flavoursome in the mouth delivering terrific power and persistency. Upfront and delectable with finely textured mouthfeel, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2030

Bright, tangy, high energy wine with green apple, citrus/grapefruit, green capsicum and oyster shell flavours supported by punchy acidity that helps drive a lingering, mouth-watering finish. Well made wine with purity and power.

Dry and crisp with sliced lemon and spiced pear character that is subtle and fine. Medium body, linear and very fine. Lovely finish.

Wine Enthusiast
Crowd-pleasing aromas of pink grapefruit juice, passion fruit and pineapple lead, with a hint of grass tucked well beneath. There's a lovely textural element from time on lees, and an overall harmony that makes this an easy drop with or without food.

A richer style of NZ Sauvignon Blanc with white fruits, orange, lemon, lime, light minerals. The acidity is more subdued but very present. The finish is clean and the citrus flavors linger.
Notes
Fermented in stainless steel tank with small portions fermented in oak foudres then aged for six months on its lees. Tasting notes from the producer: "Vivid aromas of blackcurrant leaf, lime and meadow flowers. A complex, energetic palate of citrus, white peach and elderflower with lovely weight finishing with a distinctive briney mineral character." *Vegan*
