Mike Smith’s Sauvignon Blanc distinguished effort for 2019 is a pleasure. I’m impressed with its excellent structure and rich texture - especially the minerals and supple mouthfeel.

Plush and fruity with tropical and citrus notes. Still remains crisp and very enjoyable.

Still very primary with some viscosity and weighty mouthfeel with citrus notes but still a bit young. It will be brilliant in 18 months.

A very nice SB….after eight years. Fully integrated. Clean crisp with just a touch of that NZ grassiness. I would buy again.
