Tasting note

The 2011 vintage is a great buy. Mouthfilling, punchy, crisp and dry ... it is a classic regional style, with youthful tropical-fruit and herbaceous flavours, showing excellent purity, delicacy and length. A finely textured wine, already very expressive, it floats smoothly across the palate, building to a long finish. At under $20, it's a steal. Score - 5 Stars (out of 5). (Michael Cooper's Buyer's Guide to New Zealand Wines, 2012)

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.
