This is a grassy New Zealand SB with a sharp citrus bite. We ordered it to pair with spicy Indian food.

Pale lemon with aromas of tropical fruit, citrus and grassy notes. On the palate apple, melon and lime citrus flavors with herb spice. Well balanced, vivid acidity and sweet mineral notes on a long finish. Nice value!

More grapefruit and less tropical fruits than I like in this citrusy and minerally NZ Sauv Blanc. Really easy drinking and adapts well with various foods.

$17 Big nose. Notes of pear, green apple, lemon zest, honeysuckle and slate on the nose. Light body. Low tannins, high acid, medium plus alcohol. Off-dry. Very zesty. Strong notes of lemon and lime on the tongue... like a cool glass of lemonade. Refreshing. The zest overwhelms any other flavor. Subtle notes of ripe green apple. In general, this is a VERY tangy New Zealand SB that would be comparable to a Mike's Hard Lemonade. There's a place for it, but it's not for the tame tongue.
