This is not your classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blamc, so get prepared for a different profile of New Zealand SB. Coming from the cool climate of North Canterbury, this wine has vegetal and mineral tones and the clean fruit is on background making it quite an interesting example of the potential of SB in NZ.

A great Sauv.Blanc/Semillon. Very white Bordeaux-like. Vibrant yellow-green color with intense aromas of gooseberry, fresh-cut grass and a hint of elderflower. On the palate, aromas of mango and dried papaya. Dry, refreshing finish. Vintage 2012. — 10 years ago

This is a funky and interesting wine. From recently witnessed reactions, you either like it or don't like it. I like it a lot! Bursting bouquet if flowers with honeysuckle notes and apricot hints. Almost an oily sensation in the mouth. Very interesting. Vintage 2010 — 10 years ago
