"Offering terrific fruit purity and vibrancy, the wine shows grapefruit, Granny Smith apple, nectarine and lemon zest aromas on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate that delivers excellent fruit power and persistency. It's brilliantly balanced and lingering with plenty of delicious flavours. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020

This wine is pale yellow in colour. This upfront, in-your-face drop captures the essence of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Passionfruit, lime and pink grapefruit flavours combine with mouthwatering intensity, and juicy acidity giving way to a long, zesty, perfectly balanced finish. Vibrant tropical and citrus aromas of passionfruit, lime and pink grapefruit leap from the glass, supported by exotic notes of lemongrass and Vietnamese mint.

The fruit for this wine was grown in the Taylor Pass, Lower Wairau, Hawkesbury and Awatere sub-regions of Marlborough, avoiding the main Wairau Valley floor sites. Each block was individually tended throughout the season, ensuring grapes reached optimum ripeness. With a dedicated harvesting crew on hand we were able to harvest each block individually once the fruit was ripe and the flavours were perfect.

Food Pairing: Chicken, seafood.
