This pale wine shows mineral and herbal qualities on the nose. The wine smells much grassier than the previous two New Zealand SBs I sampled (Babich and Greywacke). The palate shows a boatload of citrus minerality, too, with a racy acidity. Crustaceans and mollosks are welcome here.

A bit more balanced than most Marlborough Sauvignon Blanca. Not as much overwhelming grapefruit / citrus notes. More green apple and kiwi.
