BEST BUY "Bright aromas of lime, passion fruit, white florals and bell peppers lend an outgoing personality to this lightweight, summer sipper that shows a touch of residual sugar but feels dry and fresh overall." - Christina Pickard

"Menthol grassiness with pea pod and petrichor, wet slate aromas. Good concentration on the palate. Lots of ripe passionfruit, gooseberry, lime and mango with a grassy, herbaceous character. Ultimately, marmite style, as the structure is very good and the concentration is too."

"On the leaner, more herbaceous side of Marlborough sauvignon blanc, this offers zesty grapefruit and gooseberry alongside no shortage of cut grass. It offers a punchy, textured frame, marked by some bitterness on the moderate finish..." - Geoffrey Moss, MW

"Aromatically, this Sauvignon Blanc is textbook Marlborough: grapefruit, gooseberry, herbal and modest bell pepper notes are most prevalent on the nose. It’s light-plus bodied but quite intense, with tart grapefruit, gooseberry and lime flavours, an underlying herbal note and a riper, playful green apple component that is lifted by the medium acidity. As New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs go it’s pretty textbook — not a bad thing. 4/5"

The palate delivers excellent concentration and vibrancy, brilliantly supported by fine texture and refreshing acidity. The wine is immediate and tasty, and offers huge appeal. At its best: now to 2019."
