"It is packed with fabulous sauvignon flavours of passionfruit, feijoa, nectarine and rockmelon with an accent of lime zest. The palate delivers excellent concentration and intensity, brilliantly complemented by fine texture and juicy fruit intensity. A delicious offering. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2018

"Bright, pale straw-yellow colour, near colourless on the rim. The nose is soft and solidly packed with well-concentrated and deep aromas of pungent passionfruit entwined with tropical fruits, fresh and dark herbs and fragrant floral elements. The aromatics are harmoniously integrated and grow in depth and breadth in the glass. Dry to taste and medium full-bodied, the palate is rich and fulsome with broad, mouthfilling flavours of pungent passionfruit, tropical fruits and dark herbs. The fruit has weight an presence on the palate, forming a rounded, deep heart, with fine, lacy acidity underlining the fruit. The wine flows smoothly to an aromatic, near ethereal finish. This is a rich and mouthfilling Sauvignon Blanc with passionfruit, tropical fruit and herb flavours with plenty of presence and a smooth-flowing palate. Serve with Mediterranean and Asian cuisine over the next 2 years.

1 x Framingham's 'Nobody's Hero' Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Wine for those who just want to be themselves from Bob Campbell's winery of the year 2018!

Bright aromatics; grapefruit, sweet herbs and nettle. Yellow citrus on the palate, with red capsicum and a splash of more tropical fruit. The wine is dry, but not austere. Easy to drink on its own, or to match with food.

Winemaking is all about preserving each site’s individual identity, so it’s kept simple. Juices from each vineyard are kept separate, and fermented with an appropriate yeast in stainless steel tanks. Individual wines are then blended according to our idea of a complementary whole.

Food Pairing: Versatile on the table; try green lipped mussels or other shellfish or Ceasar salad.

"This is stylish and delicious at the same time, showing lifted notes of feijoa, green apple, rockmelon and lime zest on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate that is juicy and intense, while remaining elegant and wonderfully structured. The wine displays excellent fruit purity and textured mouthfeel, finishing long and vibrant. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2017

"Low-cropping vines (9 tonnes/ha) were picked two weeks after a serious rain event with botrytis-affected bunches removed before harvest. 11% barrel fermented with 10% relying on indigenous yeasts. Rich and quite weighty sauvignon blanc with nutty yeast lees adding complexity to citrus and grapefruit flavours. More about texture than flavour profile" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Nov 2017

"Bright, even, light straw-yellow colour, a little paler on the rim. The nose is softly packed, but voluminous with aromas of pungent passionfruit and dark herbs, along with white florals and stonefruit pith. The aromatics have very good depth and intensity. Dry to taste and medium-bodied, the palate is rich in fruit with pungent and savoury passionfruit flavours with dark herbs, nutty elements and stonefruit pith notes and a subtle piquancy. The fruit is enlivened by fresh, zesty acidity and the palate has noticeable phenolic textures lending structure to balance and nearly encase the fruit. The fruit becomes a little restrained in expression, but the wine has a sense of robustness, carrying to a lingering, crisp and fine-textured finish of passionfruit and herbs. This is a rich, pungent, savoury passionfruited Sauvignon Blanc with plenty of balancing texture and structure and a fresh, bright, stylish palate" Raymond Chan, Dec 2017

Food Pairing: All kinds of seafoods, salads.
