Winemaker Notes
It is refreshing and mouth filling. Dry but contains excellent weight of fruit on the palate. An example of the new Sauvignon Blanc where restraint and purity are primary motivators.

James Suckling
A complex nose here, nettly herbal accents across peach and melon fruits as well as bready notes, the palate has impressive textural appeal and a crisp, dry and convincing finish, citrus meets tropical flavour here.

Wine Enthusiast
Admirably concentrated and complex, this is a medium- to full-bodied wine. Passion fruit and snap pea notes combine with citrus zest on the nose, palate and long, mouthwatering finish
Recognized for its distinctively herbaceous and aromatic, Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand is perfectly suited to the grape with its maritime climate, plenty of rainfall and abundant sunshine. Producers have almost unilaterally embraced cutting-edge winery technology, resulting in clean, high-quality wines at every price point from wallet-friendly to premium. Sauvignon blanc is at its best in Marlborough but thrives throughout as the country. It is New Zealand’s most planted and successful variety, also accounting for an overwhelming majority of its exports.
