The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Single Vineyard displays jalapeño, capsicum, pineapple candy and passionfruit aromas. The dense soils of the Auntsfield estate give the wine notable weight and texture. It is dry, clean and purposeful, with a lingering finish. Enjoy when young for its vigor. $20.00 (Rebecca Gibb, Vinous, May 2023)

Some minerality, nicely balanced, a long clean finish. Like a tin whistle blown in the night.

Nov 13th, 2020Friday night at Feather & Bone in SYP (forgot to reserve in Wan Chai). Shaky start but the waiter just insisted on pouring my wine, “a lady shall never pour her own wine at dinner.” Sure. That works. Australian Wagyu is on the menu tonight... and then we’ll take the ding ding home. Oh! And the weather is amazing. October is oh so lovely here. Kris thinks this is easy to drink. Danny would score lower. Kris writes these, so she might hold a bit more weight.

Elegant “old world” nose on this Pinot. (None of the slightly chemical nose that bothers me on so many New Z pinots). Fresh fruit, good balance if somewhat lacking in complexity.
