This is the second Sauvignon blanc I've had from Marlborough and man... All I can say is where has this wine been all my life? It's not quite as scrumptious as the other one I've tried, but I will definitely be buying this wine again. I can take full sips instead of just taking a tiny bit into my mouth because I don't like it. It's for sure worth every penny you spend on the bottle. It's dry, crisp, very fruity with a hint of green apples, honeydew, and grapefruit. Tastes wonderful on the tongue and the taste lasts in your mouth for a long time.

A bit too sweet for my taste - good for conversation, but not with a meal.

Alluring strong nose of tropical fruit, grass, and flowers. Good acid on the attack with vegetal (corn on the cob) and floral notes. Mid-palate had strong slightly sour ripe fruit (nectarine, guava (feijoa), other tropical (passionfruit perhaps)). Medium-length clean finish. Body medium, acid medium, dry to off-dry.

Winemaker Notes - A beautifully intense and lively wine, overflowing with aromas of ripe gooseberry, melon and passionfruit with hints of grapefruit, lime and nettles. The wine is mouth-filling and juicy with vibrant fruit and fantastic mid palate richness and weight, finishing rich and racy with excellent length and crispness.

A great example of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with typical ripe tropical-citrus fruit, zippy acidity and smoky, peppery flavors. Enjoy this with well-seasoned chicken, pork or fish dishes, especially if they're a little spicy.

Refreshing and vibrant, offering tangerine and lime-tinged nectarine and green apple flavors that keep sailing through the long, generous and lively finish. Drink now. 500 cases imported.

Wine Tasting NotesThis Sauvignon Blanc is bursting with ripe gooseberry, citrus lime, tropical melon and exotic herbal aromas. The wine's layers of flavour excite and intrigue. It is a fresh and ripely flavoured wine with fantastic intensity, finishing with crisp and racy acidity.

Goldgelbe Farbe Nase von Zitrusaromen und Noten von tropischen Früchten. Im Gaumen frisch, elegant, komplex und fruchtig. Ein lang anhaltender Wein, unterstrichen durch seine feine Säure. Ein typischer Sauvignon Blanc aus Neuseeland.
