Description

  • Dry style
  • Passionfruit
  • Zesty citrus
  • Mouth-watering finish

"It’s fabulously ripe and fragrant on the nose showing passionfruit, feijoa, crunchy apple and lemon zest aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate that offers excellent vibrancy and lively mouthfeel, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020

"Juicy, mouth-watering sauvignon blanc with crunchy summer salad, lime, capsicum and passionfruit flavours. A fresh and ethereal wine for delicious summer drinking. Offers great value at this price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Oct 2020

"Bright, pale straw-yellow, even colour throughout. The nose is fresh and vibrant, aromas of gooseberries, limes, mangoes, melded with green herbs and white florals. Medium-light bodied, dry to taste, tropical fruit of mango, lime and gooseberry have an excellent juicy core, a touch of sea salt enlivened palate, unveiling fresh green herbs and elderflower notes. The acidity is electric, supporting the succulent tropical fruit, flows with great energy and flavours. The touch of sea salt balanced out the fruit and acid, broaden the palate and added interest. The rounded mouthfeel completes the wine to a lengthy finish. This is an up-front, crisp Sauvignon Blanc with tropical fruit, herbs and florals details with a long round finish. Match with clams and mussels over the next 2-3 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, Sep 2020

This wine presents a pure and vibrant palate with layers of passionfruit, tropical fruit and zesty citrus. Juicy fruit flavours and crisp acidity combine to deliver a mouth-watering finish. Capturing all the trademark sub-regional flavours of Marlborough, this Sauvignon Blanc is sure to impress.
