New to this producer! Classic razor sharp acidity! Gooseberry, grapefruit, lemon, with an edge of tropical fruits, guava and passionfruit. Love it!

Delicious #marlborough #sauvignonblanc - Heady grapefruit, passionfruit and an under layer of green herbs on the nose. Upon first unscrewing, (+1 for easy, reliable closures;) noticeable prickle on the tongue suggests perhaps unintentional secondary fermentation. If so, it’s a happy accident as a delicious impression of grapefruit soda envelopes your mouth. Touch of grapefruit pith bitterness on the finish. Lovely refreshing alternative to more pedestrian mass-market Kiwi SB.

Very bright and juicy. Not so herby and grassy, but lots of passion fruit. Finish of jalapeño.
