I definitely enjoyed it it. I compare every NZ Sauv Blanc to Cloudy Bay Tekoko. I know it is not fair but I can't help it. This is definitely no Tekoko but it is also much better than your average NZ Sauv Blanc. I would enjoy again.

Bell pepper nose. More of the same on the palate. Mouthwatering.

2021 Vintage served with Seafood dinner. Light citrus notes, but not real fruity. More herbal and mineral on the palate. First try first this wine, I prefer more fruit notes in my Sauvignon Blanc for the price point.

Brings back so many memories, and the significant taste is real. When you have been to the estate, you wil never forget this taste. You hate it or you love it.

Кинза, крыжовник, старфрут, сельдерей.
Чуть перчено, лучше бы нет, но букет очень красивый. Хорошая освежвющая кислотность.

Pear and spice character with a refreshing finish. Fantastic

Intriguingly good blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewurtztraminer from New Zealand

Nose was very green, and the attack followed suit with lots of acidity and grassy herbaceous flavors typical of Marlborough. But those gave way to a richness and ripe fruitiness with a lingering finish that won me over. I enjoyed each sip more than the last. Drank 2014 vintage on 04/26/16
