Herbaceous, fresh cut grass, passion fruit and gooseberry nose. Passion fruit dominant and quality high acid flavour.
A great textural mouthfeel. Great value, an old favourite.

Picked this up on a whim at Total Wine. $12, worth the gamble. I think $12 is about what this is good for, so kind of hard to complain and compare. And therein lies the problem with reviews, do I rate this for its price and value? Do I rate it for comparison sake? Do I take the middle ground?

I’ll take the middle. It’s got some of the classic Marlborough SB flavors like honeydew and herbs. A touch of apple and grapefruit. It’s not so refreshing though, a bit too round and no finish. $12, so, yeah.

Très fruité avec des notes minérale et d'agrumes. A boire bien frais. Et le mieux c'est en terrasse sous le soleil, avec des crevettes par exemple. Vin que l'on peut boire aussi à l'apéro
