Matahiwi Estate
Wairarapa Sauvignon Blanc
Wairarapa, North Island, New Zealand
Pale yellow-green in color. Light/medium bodied. 12% ALC
Bright, lifted citrus aromatics of lime and grapefruit abound, supported by ripe nectarine-like stone fruit notes. Lacking a bit of complexity on a lengthy finish.
Do enjoy drinking NZ wines(with food) on a hot summer day. Cheers! Can’t beat the price!

Opened this 2022 sauvignon blanc May 2023. Was chilled and tasted after the pour. Very different from classic Marlborough that is most often drunk. Very clear with fruity aroma of pineapple and passion fruit. Lovely! Low acid, minimal grapefruit but dry wonderful fruit tastes. Definitely a keeper.

Fresh, easy to drink. Citrusy and no lingering

Lychee, spice and pineapple on the nose. A bit heavy on the tartness on the palate, but also some nice, lingering fruit. Goes great with spicy food and for the price, this is tough to beat.

NZ SB not my game, but, this has a very nice fruit when super lightly chilled (almost room temp)
Anymore than a slight chill, all the grassy and over the top citrus and bitter acidic notes appear, and I am exit stage left like Snagglepuss.

Very melon, fruity, acidic, a bit too much for me

Almost transparent in color. Slight acidity adds freshness, but opens into a huge party of tropical flavors (mango, passion fruit, pineapple). Delicious and lovely without being overly sweet and a great price to boot.
