Really classic NZ Sauv Blanc, with masses of gooseberries. Stone fruits and some citrus back it. nice acidity and minterality. Dry and delicious.

Grassy, lime, crushed rock. This wine was actually better on the second day, though perhaps slightly damning that there was any left over the first night.

Typical of the vintage, it's outstanding. Vibrant aromatics without coming off as Teeenager perfume. Sophisticated on the palate and lovely acidity.

Off Dry wine. Medium acidity and fruity taste. Reminds me of NZ wine.

Good quality savignon blanc. Fresh and leafy, while not particularly deep.
