Classic meets modern. Aromas you'd expect, but slight barrel aging round the wine and quell some offensive smells.

Another fantastic Wine Society special! Nice accompaniment to the BBQ pork chop and veggies but also a great quaffing wine for £7! As usual, a Marlborough Sav Blanc with lovely bouquet.

The 2015 vintage was superb! The 2016 vintage is good, but not as flavorful with less depth and citrus notes.

Decent NZ SB. It's not my favorite for the price point (around 15-16) but was pleasant and bit softer than other offerings which ended up being really nice.

Less than 5 miles up Waihopai Valley Rd from the GCSB's Waihopai Listening Station, and thus the name Spy Valley. If these vines could talk the NSA would know what they said.
Lime and pepper dominate, in the form of juice, zest, jalapeño, and bell. A secondary herbaceousness yields mostly grass and peach skin. Crisp and racy, as expected, but the fruit is more concentrated than usual for a NZSB.
