Oh my. If you want to know what makes a New Zealand Sauvignon blanc such a specific flavour, try this one. The nose is LOADED with flower shop and the palate introduces all kinds of green grapes and citrus. The acidity is nicely integrated but the tart stands out a bit. Not my favourite varietal, but this is a good expression of it in both terroir and grape.

Nice nose. Complex. A hint of grapefruit. Refreshing.

Very forward with the grapefruit! Liked this sauv-blanc with a lot of personality; I had it after working in the yard on a sunny day and it hit the spot.

2021 vintage.
Tropical fruit, gooseberry and fresh cut grass on the nose.
Mouth watering acidity with guava, citrus and minerals.
Very crisp and clean finish.

Passion fruit, pink gooseberries, with a juicy grapefruit squirt that is crisp & mouthwatering. Floral notes abound! Complex and full of flavour! Love the minerality that adds dryness and structure. This is a special occasion Sauvignon Blanc that delights on its own, or paired with shellfish!

A gift from NZ friends-really understand the floral, crisp taste with this-hint of watermelon, passion fruit, and pineapples, but a dry sweet.
