"It's beautifully aromatic on the nose with kiwifruit, kaffir lime, basil and white floral aromas, followed by a wonderfully flavoursome palate that's filled with bright fruit flavours backed by juicy acidity, offering excellent drinking" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2023
"Pungent and classically styled bouquet with aromas of cape gooseberries and passion fruit, then fresh red apple and basil leaves. On the palate there’s an equal amount of energy with a bold acid line then fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet along with fresh herbs and a whisp of jalapeno" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
Aromas of ripe gooseberry and passion fruit, whilst the palate is intense and layered with nettles, stone fruits and subtle minerality with balanced acidity providing a long lingering finish.
The Awatere Valley of Marlborough is a relatively new grape growing region of New Zealand. The most powerful element this valley has upon vines is the wind. Predominantly from the West, these winds drive through the valley from any direction and quite often reach Galeforce intensity. Galeforce winds are very unnatural for vines and they expend all their energy into producing the juiciest fruit with the most flavour for the birds to spread their seed. The fruit is harvested before the birds can get to them.
The fruit was Machine harvested and handled as gently as possible once in the winery to preserve any of the vibrant fruit flavours. Fermentation was completed under cool conditions in Stainless Steel and stopped once there was a natural balance between any residual sugar and the zesty acidity of the Awatere.

This is a lovely drop, slightly fruity but not sweet, have never had it before, and have now ordered two more cases.
Claudette - 28/06/2024
It is slightly less in alcohol at 11.5% but that allows all the fruity flavours and scents to shine. Usually I go for Pinot Gris because it is not quite so acidic: I bought this because it was a good price and I have lots of Sav loving friends. How wonderful to find something absolutely delicious we can all enjoy.
