I'm not going to lie: sometimes I pick a wine by its label. This wine pleasantly surprised me. Always a fan of the clean, refreshing Sauvignon Blancs of Marlborough. I believe this label is part of the Matua family. Green apple and kiwi, with plenty of citrus and bright acidity - reminded me at times of Welch's white grape juice, too, but in a good way. Goes down very easily, and more complex than the Matua. Not sure it's quite worth the added price to pick it over the Matua on a regular basis, but If you're looking for an easy sipper with a bit more dimension, this is a good choice.

Fantastic with seafood (we had with lobster). Also decent on its own but the buttery seafood really brought out new flavors in the wine.

Has the asparagus thing going pretty full on. A little intense/aggressive for me

A belt of passion fruit in the mouth - all the hallmarks of the Marlborough here as they like to do them these days.

Very nice! Floral and fruit forward with a hint of citrus.
