Crisp, refreshing, pronounced gooseberry, notes of lemon, apple, minerality (saline), medium body, medium + acid, medium finish. Usually not a fan of Sauvignon Blanc, but this once gets a thumbs up. — 3 days ago
Hedelmäinen pieni hapokkuus mukana. 2021 Vintage — 5 days ago
Aromatic notes of red fruits and red florals, dried herbs and whole bunch influences. Not as typically Otago as I was expecting - more restrained and less full bodied as you normally expect from this part of the world. I had written previously on Otago as being a “Shiraz drinkers Pinot” but this certainly wasn’t. The following day still those red cherry aromatics and a little pepper. Not overly complex, a little young, but very pleasant. Next in a year or so. — 14 days ago
Passion fruit, pink gooseberries, with a juicy grapefruit squirt that is crisp & mouthwatering. Floral notes abound! Complex and full of flavour! Love the minerality that adds dryness and structure. This is a special occasion Sauvignon Blanc that delights on its own, or paired with shellfish! — 4 days ago
If NZ SB and White Burgundy had a child…subtle tropical and stone fruit combined with some subtle oak notes. — 7 days ago
Pretty classic New Zealand style Sauvignon Blanc. Pale straw color. Fresh aromas of grapefruit with hints of lychee, pear and apples. Pallet is full of citrus and passion fruit flavors. Hint of a green element on the lingering finish. Medium bodied with a very silky texture. Loads of mouth watering acidity. Crisp, bold and fresh. — 4 days ago

Cherry and baking spices on the nose and palate, light body and tingly acid. A perfect summer red. — 5 days ago

The nose is exactly what I expect from a kiwi Pinot Noir : black forest fruits, cherry, pomegranate, hay, earth and an oaky touch lurking in the rear. The palate is acid driven but doesn't lack structure and shows some matter : a stellar black forest fruits note shines all through it, there is some width in midpalate with a bit of grip and a vivid mouthfeel gives way to some edgy, lively tannins before a long and fresh finish with fruits and some of these oaky notes which are consistent with the nose. This is not a bad at all but could benefit from a couple of years of aging. — 2 days ago
