Description
- Dry style
- Gooseberry
- White peach
- Fresh & fruity
"Classic bouquet with a concentrated fruit centric beginning, citrus and saline, apple and white peach, fresh herbs and sandy stony mineral quality. Flavours on the palate include grapefruit and lemon peel, fresh apple and gooseberry moments. The saline suggestion from the bouquet rings loud and clear on the palate. Herbaceous, fresh, fruity and dry. A well made wine with some concentration and vibrato. Best drinking from 2023 through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2022
"Mellow, herbal Sauvignon Blanc with green capsicum, sweet cut grass, gooseberry and struck flint/gunpowder characters. Quite a good result from a challenging vintage. Drink 2022 to 2026" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Oct 2022
"Aromas of fresh peaches, sliced mangoes and jasmine. Medium-bodied with silky texture. Bright and succulent with fresh tropical and stone fruit at the core. Subtle spice at the finish. Sustainable" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com, Oct 2022
"The 2022 vintage (4.5*) was grown in the Wairau Valley, Awatere Valley and on the Kekerengu Coast. Bright, light lemon/green, with strong, fresh, clearly herbaceous aromas, it is mouthfilling and intensely varietal, with good concentration of crisp, green-edged fl avours, a minerally streak, and a real sense of youthful drive. Best drinking mid-2023+" Michael Cooper, Michael Cooper’s Buyer’s Guide, Nov 2022
Pale straw with green highlights. Powerful gooseberry, white currant, red capsicum, passionfruit and lime peel aromas. Medium-bodied, with strong flavours of makrut lime, passionfruit, lemongrass and a refreshingly smooth, dry and persistent finish.
Food Pairing: Fresh, leafy green salads; goat’s cheese; seafood of all types; and dishes with lifted, aromatic herbs.
