The most elegant nz sb i can remember. Supple with a little weight. But still lively and pulsating with electric acidity. Celery leaf, clean minerality and understated citrus zest on the nose. Palate has some underripe stone fruit, white peach. Grapefruit and lime on the long finish. But it adds to the overall profile instead of dominating it. Really beautiful wine, may restore my faith in marlborough.

Classy, refined NZ SB. Light on the grapefruit and lemongrass, peach pit and stone fruit dominate. Zippy acidity and Flint. I'm 91 on this.

Bright citrus and classic Malborough body. Very representative of quality SB from NZ. Worth the money at $18 a bottle.
