Good if not a tad bit sweet.

Pale straw with green edges and aromas of citrus and tropical fruits with floral herb notes. On the palate juicy apricot, peach and grapefruit with lemon zest, classic New Zealand SB. Vivid acidity and spice complement this well balanced wine to a medium finish.

Pale lemon in color with a green hue.

Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate tangy and interesting.

Showing limes, grapefruits, light tropical notes, earth, grass, gooseberry, lychee, and mango.

I've had better vintages of this wine, especially the 2020.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine by the pool.

Pairs nicely with food too, like fresh seafood and oysters.

88 points.

$12.

This is a very tasty Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.

Dry on the palate with medium plus acidity. Nicely balanced and crisp with mild complexity.

Showing limes, grapefruits, lemons, citrus, green apples, gooseberry, light tropical fruits, spices and white pepper.

Good right out of the bottle and better when properly chilled.

I paired it with Ahi Tuna Sashimi.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.
