Richly aromatic, fresh and savoury. On the nose: pineapple, lemongrass. On the palate: pineapple, ripe lemon, grapefruit, Yucatan's lime and oaky undertones to round out everything in a elegant, full-bodied, medium/plus acidity and richly textured SB. www.dolcevitawine.net

A little oak adds some tension and girth to this SB. Definitely a variation from the typical NZ theme.

Soooo interesting - a Sauvignon blanch with herbs, mint, minerals a bit more bite. Unexpected :-)

This wine knows what it wants, and is driven from the start. Intensely aromatic, as fresh as can be, and with a nose you want to live in. Runs the gauntlet on your typical NZ descriptors, but brings elegance, depth, and a level of richness that usually lacks. Partial ML rounds it, but doesn't quell the acid on this one. Fresh, youthful NZ blended with savage, smoky, Loire gives you quite the experience.

The Eleanor Roosevelt of SB. Lives up to the name and the price tag. It has the typical NZ characteristics- lemongrass, grapefruit, gooseberry. The tropics of mango, papaya and kiwi. With a wonderful silky smokiness that encompasses it all, the palate is assertive yet elegant, explosive yet taut, defying yet defining.
