Grassy with notes of green bean, bell pepper and pomelo. Lovely.

If you haven't had the pleasure of Greywacke Sauv Blanc yet, run don't walk to the nearest shop that carries it. Best Sauv Blanc to come out of New Zealand, bar none!

Fantastic NZ Sauv Blanc! Attractive light green; gooseberries(!), grapefruit, clean apple cider, with a faint hint of green peppercorns, cooked sage, and line zest; stunning acidity and tightrope balance. Could drink this every day! Absolutely fantastic with grilled lobster and monkfish.

Fresh, crunchy green veggies, grass, grapefruit and elevated but not offensive acidity. Not usually my preference but when it's 90 degrees, it's pretty solid.

2014 vintage! This is a perfect example of what a NZ Sauvignon blanc should smell and taste like.... Grass and jalepeno!

Green pepper, mango, tangerine. Multi-dimensional for the varietal/style/region. More interesting than I expected.
