"A classic expression showing ripe nectarine, kiwifruit, lime zest and green apple characters on the nose, combined with a lively mouthfeel, finishing gorgeously long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2021

A terrific example of classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc displaying fresh lifted notes of tropical fruits with a hint of sea salt. Luscious and gently textured with flavours of  grapefruit and gooseberry with an elegant mineral note.  The palate is intensely concentrated,  rich and lively with an elegant and full bodied finish. At its best over the next two years but it will be hard to resist drinking this delicious drop immediately.

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.

Food Pairing: Perfectly matched with freshly caught blue cod and fresh asparagus.
