Packed with varietal intensity, the nose has passionfruit, sweet pea flowers and a savoury nettle nose. The palate shows good entry and bright fruit concentration with wet stone mineral acidity running the length

90pts The Wine Advocate– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
The 2017 Sauvignon Blanc shows a riper fruit prole than many NZ Sauvignon Blancs, showcasing nectarine, g and melon notes. It’s medium-bodied but shows excellent concentration and lasting notes of citrus and passion fruit on the finish

90pts Wine Spectator– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
Complex, with toasted hay and honeysuckle notes that mingle with a whiff of smoke up front, giving way to succulent apricot, dried pineapple and tangerine flavors. Juicy and refreshing. Drink now. 10,000 cases made.

90pts The Wine Advocate– 2018 vintage

FOR THE 2018 VINTAGE
Made in a ripe, tropical style, the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc features barely any of the variety’s hallmark herbal notes. It’s fairly rich and weighty, with flavors of passion fruit and nectarine underscored by a bright, citrusy finish. It should drink well for a year or two
