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.

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.
