Passionfruit, grapefruit skin. Maybe less obvious than other sav blanc in this price.

Sep 5th, 2016I'm starting to really like NZ Sauv Blancs, and this is partly why. Excellent on the nose and on the palate. Fruity and crisp with a tinge of sweetness. I very much recommend this one, especially if you're new to the varietal.

Dec 29th, 2015Very smooth on the tongue. Especially good with fried chicken. The finish has a taste of spicy fruits and finishes with grapefruit. It is a little pricey for its performance.
