Has the aroma of tropical fruit and gooseberry. The taste is refreshing, with a slight sourness from citrus fruits of grapefruit, lime and lemon . Lemongrass is also present in the taste and has balanced acidity. This wine would be good with white fish...

A Pinot Noir for Shiraz lovers! Haha... a good wine but it is more like a Shiraz in style than a Pinot Noir... lots of fruit, spices, great body, some elegant minerality and a long finish... a gutsy Pinot Noir! 90 Points

Grassy nose, but not overpowering. Nice citrus there too. Very crisp and acidic on the attack, citrus and grass, but way less grass than some i've had. Some minerality of the finish. I liked it as it wasnt too grassy compared to some

Overflowing with aromas of gooseberry and passionfruit with hints of lime and nettles. The wine is mouth filling with vibrant fruit and mid palate richness, finishing rich and racy with excellent length and crispness.

Very fruity, with strong apple and kiwi. More fruity than I usually enjoy, but a VERY pleasant and enjoyable wine. I have learned to love the Marlborough NZ Sauvignon Blancs.
