Classic New Zealand in STYLE. Gooseberry, grapefruit, fresh cut grass, and perfect acidity.

Pros:
* gentle acid (for the price point: not overly acidic)
* fresh grassy nose
* basic, unobtrusive, easy to sip
* $11 price point

Cons:
* generally thin mouthfeel, lacking overall texture
* underwhelming front-to-back fruit

Summary:
* nice wine for the price point
* no standout elements to write home about.
* share with a "non wine drinker" who wants something simple to pair with mild white fish
* overall enjoyable, but with a wold of wine to explore, I'd probably only re-buy if I were in a pinch.

Massimo means big. Tropical and lemon notes both in smell and taste. Acidic and tart.

Very bright flavored, grassy and lemon on the nose but gooseberry, grapefruit and a really soft mellow acidity with a slow creeping minerality and pleasant dry finish
