Fruit, mint, grapefruit and freshly cut grass on the nose. A very fruity wine that would be easy drinking on its own or pair well with cold cuts and salads.

Still excellent the second time around. Smoky, dry, citrus and tart apples. Not much of a hint sweet, which is nice for Sauvignon Blanc.

Enjoyable Kiwi SB of typical nose of tropical fruits. Herbaceous note is very noticeable too. Clean, but the finish is not as crisp - not a complain here.

Citrus, pineapple, green apple & melon, tropicals with white & yellow florals on the nose. Nice round texture, good chalkiness & soft minerals, wet stones, guava, pineapple, green apple, underripe melon, white peach, nectarine with nice delicate spice on the long finish.

Gun smoke, flint and wet rocks with the citrus stuff on the nose. Lovely golden hue. Flavor is a bit funky with rainwater, Granny Smith apples and aspen tree bark. Very dry and pretty tart. Lean, mean mineral machine. Paired with mussels like a dream made in NZ heaven.

Not citrusy, like a Marlborough, yet still tart.
