winemaker's notes:
Lively and refreshing, with intense gooseberry, grapefruit and kiwi fruit on the nose and palate. Explodes with flavor - the essence of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
Color: Pale straw / green hints
Bouquet: Ripe tropical fruit especially passion fruit and melon. An extra hint of riverstone shows through
Palate: Ripe flavours continue through. A subtle creamy note contributes richness and interest. The taught acid structure provides keen focus to the palate and balances the ripe tropical fruit flavours. The finish is powerful and reminiscent of passion fruit and melon.

We were delighted w/this excellent example of SauvBlanc and rate it a 3.98 on a 4.0 Scale. We ordered it again fm Wine.com as we consider it an excellent value as well as reminding us of some of the wonderful wine we had while visiting the Loire!

My new favorite Sauvignon Blanc. Try with grilled shrimp or halibut with lemon - this is the perfect seafood or light pasta wine.
