Tasting note
Pale straw colour; pronounced grassy and gooseberry aromas with white peach and citrus notes; dry and crisp with grassy and citrus flavours with a zesty lime finish.
This dry pale yellow coloured wine features medium floral, fruity and vegetal scents and offers a broad texture.
Vibrant peach, tropical fruit and gooseberry aromas and freshly cut herb undertones that refreshes the palate with a crisp, clean, lingering finish.
Mid-straw, with a bright clarity. Vibrant white-currant, nettle, and gooseberry aromas, with a grapefruit core underpinned by some pungent herbaceous, jalapenõ flavors. The palate is full and vibrant. Fresh nettle, gooseberry and tropical fruit flavors abound and linger on the long, clean acid finish. Summer salads, poultry and shellfish, such as Marlborough’s famous green-lipped mussels, lobster and white fish.
July 2014 Insider Pick from Kim Giesbrecht, Portfolio Manager for Wines of Australia, New Zealand, Beer, and Refreshment Beverages: "Fresh, vibrant and pure; grapefruit and gooseberry abound in this flavourful Sauvignon Blanc. It is the perfect complement to summer; ideal for the patio, shellfish and salads." Featured in TASTE Magazine, Winter 2012 issue.
