Sweet, but not too sweet. Fruity, but not too fruity. This is such a pleasant wine to drink on its own or with a meal! Very glad to have found this!!

New Zealand all the way! Grassy notes but not over powering! Only slightly grassy on the palate! I get more Granny Smith than anything. A very light Sauv Blanc!

Pale lemon in color.
Strong on the nose with green apples, gooseberry, bell pepper and lime.

Light bodied with high acidity.

Dry on the palate with grass, green apple, lime, and grapefruit.

Medium finish.

Nice on the palate, but the cat pee smell really ruined it for me.

Nice, fresh, refreshing - what you would expect from a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Tropical fruits, citrus, a bit of grassy. Good bang for your buck.

Textbook citrus with peppery nose. Tingly lime on the top of the tongue with crisp acidity and grapefruit finish.

For the price, an incredible bargain. Crisp, citrus taste. Very drinkable. Surprisingly, it holds the taste over several years. This is a 2014 vintage drank in 2019.
