Light straw yellow with tropical citrus and grassy aromas, typical Sauv Blanc. On the palate crisp and tart tropical fruit flavors, very sour grapefruit and tart lemon. Finish has mineral tones, herb & grassy, with medium ending. Your average SB, nothing special, prior vintages were a bit better. Tasting Sample.

This is fabulous! Lemon zest, pineapple, passion fruit and mostly green apple. A mouth full of bang right here! My mouth waters for more! Happy Friday!!

Pale yellow hue. Aromas and flavors of cat piss, citrus, grapefruit, grass, minerals, and passion fruit. Medium-minus body with high acidity. Crisp finish. Great for pairing with light appetizers.

Good grapefruit and citrus. Not too dry.

A tangy zinger of a wine. Slight effervescence. The nose oddly matches the palate. Citrus up front and some green pepper at the end.

This is a game changer. Super crisp dry wine - maybe my favorite wine ever

Good for price. Slightly drier and more mineral taste than other New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs at this price point.
