90pts.... iIt is pristine and lively, wonderfully framed by bright acidity, finishing long and zesty

"Aromatic and inviting, the bouquet shows passionfruit, nectarine, lime zest and dill characters, leading to a vibrant palate that is filled with tasty sauvignon flavours. It is pristine and lively, wonderfully framed by bright acidity, finishing long and zesty. A very likable sauvignon for everyday drinking. At its best: now to 2018." Sam Kim Wine Orbit, Oct 2016

Intense tropical and citrus aromatics and bright vibrant acidity. Striking notes of nettles, pink grapefruit and fresh currants leap from the glass. The crisply defined palate is underlined with minerality, lingering with guava and ripe pear.

This wine is especially perfectly matched with freshly shucked oysters, lightly pan-fried fish, a green leaf goats cheese salad or simply enjoy as an aperitif.

Marlborough is renowned for its high sunshine hours and cool night time temperatures that help lock in the zesty flavours, giving crisp and fruity structure to the wines.

A late Indian Summer produced a very dry and settled growing season. Excellent weather was experienced over flowering which began at the beginning of December and lasted for around 10 days producing an even and balanced crop with a vibrant and healthy working canopy. Harvest began in the last week of March and concluded in the third week of April. Optimal acid balance and sugar ripeness was reached at an earlier physiological ripeness producing wines with elegance and poised. The dry hot summer and larger than average berry size has seen an increase in thiol production, producing some of the most elegant and distinctive wines of recent vintages.

"you get what you pay for" does not apply to this wine. Well .. maybe to the physical label- other than that it tastes like something twice the price.

This was the best buy best tasting value Savvy for the year.

I could never buy this flavour for this price in a supermarket. It's bright and subtle at the same time-no sharpness but lots of fruit. The label is pretty over the top- but I guess it depends on where in the world it was destined for.
