Slightly plonky passion fruit with just enough acid to keep it interesting. With less this might devolve into Skittles territory.

Comes with built-in “ready to drink” temperature sensor, “snowflake” on label turns “blue” in fridge when ready to drink! Pale straw with aromas of citrus and tropical fruits adding grassy floral herb notes. On the palate ripe peach and pineapple with lemon zest, classic New Zealand SB. Vivid acidity and grassy spice complement this well balanced wine to a medium finish.

Color is very light with bubbly hew of yellow. Nose of sweet lychee, honey, flowering note and a touch of spice. Taste is vivid acidity, lychee and green apple, tinkling, a touch of mineral, and just a bit too watery. Aftertaste has some more lychee note and warmth in the throat. Too light or she will be quite unique.

Nice almost greenish wine with hay and passion fruit aromas. Balanced and light. Perfect for hot weather. Served really chilled ;)

Nice and gentle Sauvignon Blanc 2013 from Marlborough Valley! Freshness, white flowers and green apple with a well reached balance of acidity and soft minerality; slate!

I thought you couldn’t go wrong with a Marlborough sav blanc, but this one is not the best. A little too sweet, not dry enough for my liking.
