Talk about cost performance! If you ever find this on sale and like white burgs, load up. Some oak on it but plenty of tension, acidity that keep it all in check. Always a crowd pleaser and sure to surprise those that have yet to discover the potential of NZ wines.

Toasted honey and mild oak on the nose.
Medium bodied with medium acidity. Ripe nectarines, with some citrus, and robust minerals throughout.

More French than Californian. Which I prefer. I would try this one again.
