Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with herb and grassy notes. On the palate flavors of apple, mango citrus and some grassy tones with lively acidity. Medium finish ending with earthy herbal, grassy and mineral notes.

Bright and refreshing, but a bit too tart and limey for its own good. First time I had this was on a hot, humid day by the beach with a salad; it was great. Second time was at home on its own; too tart.

A fruit forward NZ Sauv Blanc for sure. If you're looking for a grassy, Sancerre-like Sauv, this isn't the wine for you. Guava, papaya, gooseberries, and peppery grapefruit. Great acidity, which perks up the tropical fruits. A shame the finish doesn't stretch further.

On the nose: Passionfruit, Guava. On the palate: Grapefruit, Ripe Lemon, Kiwi. Fresh and juicy good for a hot summer night.

Crisp and dry. Lots of notes of nectarine and especially lime. Less favorable compared to wines in the same range such as Kim Crawfords or Ferrari Carano. Drinkable thirst quencher in the summer!

Big grassy gooseberry nose with a hint of catpee. Fortunately much less aggressive on the palate. The acidity seems to be more in check this vintage as opposed to prior offerings. Fairly well balanced. But I'm over NZ SB.
