"It's instantly appealing on the nose showing grapefruit, apricot, kaffir lime and lemon peel aromas. The palate delivers excellent fruit intensity and purity backed by bright acidity, finishing long and delectable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020

A terrific example of classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc displaying ripe gooseberry and blackcurrant, with fresh lifted notes of capsicum and a hint of salt. Luscious and gently textured with flavours of  crunchy apple and gooseberry with an elegant mineral note. The palate is intensely concentrated, rich and lively with an elegant and full bodied finish. Grapes for this wine were carefully harvested when they reached their optimum ripeness. They were pressed off their skins quickly with minimum contact so as to preserve fresh flavours.

At its best over the next two years but it will be hard to resist drinking this delicious drop immediately.

Food Pairing: Perfectly matched with seared tuna steaks and fresh asparagus.
