I really really like Monkey Bay's SB. A lovely crisp bite has a light hint of sweetness. So refreshing and awesome for a great deal under $20!

A touch acidic but for the low price it's a great pick.

So tasty! Off-dry and great acidity. Strong notes of tropical fruits, specificly tangerines, grapefruit and nectarines. Also getting those green vegetal notes and wheat grass. I really enjoyed this wine and it was very inexpensive.

Nice green flavors that you'd want in a NZ SB, but a little too light in texture. Prefer Fernlands SB.

Still have not had a white out of New Zealand that I did not like.

Just ripe peach, some grassy notes. A little green bell pepper. Very drinkable. Another excellent NZ Sauvignon blanc.

Light with notes of tart apple and fresh citrus pith. Very smooth with a pleasant amount of tannins. Nice finish, slight earthy minerals at the end. Enjoyable to sip with hors d'oeuvres.
