Delish #NewZealand #sauvignonblanc Has it all - zesty citrus fruit, apple, nice acid, minerality, balance and herbs -- green pepper, hints of asparagus and even jalapeño.

Value is incredible. For the price paid this is probably the best NZ Sauvignon Blanc

Exceptional Sauv Blanc - super unique nose of freshly cut passion fruit and grapefruit with hint of lime zest. Surprisingly, taste presents immediate buttery notes and opens into the usual fruity, aromatic flavors that you'd expect from a New Zealand Sauv Blanc.

Crisp and refreshing. Notes of fruit, green apple especially. Fantastic to drink chilled in the summer.

Clean and crisp with high mineral notes and tropical fruits. Paired well with soft shell crabs.

This is a great wine on its own or paired with chicken, fish, and grilled veggies. I can drink it all night long and still feel fresh in the morning. Bright, light and barely any acidity.

This wine is outstanding! I can't get enough of it right now. I love the crisp citrus and clean minerality. So refreshing.

Nice. Fruity and floral. Not too much acid for SB. Better than nobilo and cheaper--10 bucks at wegmans
