Clear pale lemon color with clean pronounced aromas of citrus, herbs, blossom and stone fruits. On the palate flavors of apple, pineapple, grass and lemon peel, vivid acidity on a medium body frame. Medium length finish ending with a touch of fresh mineral citrus. Drink now while it’s fresh, no bottle age benefit.

Round and less grassy but explosively green and ripe nonetheless

New Zealand SB, for me it’s very 2007 (that was the year of my NZSB phase), but THIS is another story. This wine is freaking fantastic. Not heavy on the grass, but racy and with a lighter touch on the citrus. A little saline and briney. Delicious.

Bold flavor with a refreshing finish. Apricot skin, lemon Italian ice, yuzu, underripened pineapple. I love this, less tropical fruit than some NZ sauv blancs, but this is beautifully balanced and incredibly solid. Maybe the best NZSBs I've had.

More notes of pear than grapefruit. Lovely.
