Description
"Bright, fresh and lively wine with citrus/lemon curd, grapefruit and lime zest flavours. Ripe acidity will suit those who normally find the acidity in sauvignon blanc a bit too hard or green. Attractive wine" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review
"A concentrated and structured style with some real grip. It's not the classically fruity, exuberant, all-singing, all-dancing, stainless-steel-fermented style that put New Zealand on the wine map. This cuvée is fermented fairly wamt (18-20c) and, as such, it is an aromatically restrained style with citrus, pear and elderflower flavours. While large casks played their part in this wine's development, the influence is more noticeable in their effect on the rounded texture as opposed to any oaky flavour - although is there just a mere whiff of smoke? This finish is tied up in a clean and crisp manner, with a racy powering through" Rebecca Gibb, Master of Wine, Vinous Magazine
"Aromas and flavours of apples and grapefruit then a mix of herbs and tropical fruits, some grassy hay qualities and wet river stone minerality. As the wine opens out on the palate flavours of bell-pepper mix in with the apple, citrus and some gooseberry fruit highlights. Vibrant, fresh and new , crisp and dry with immediate appeal" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
"Notes of fresh limes, ripe guavas, currant leaves and crushed apples. Medium-bodied, fresh and crunchy, with clean acidity and a mineral finish" James Suckling
