 Tasted by gharter on 9/23/2023 & rated 90 points: PnP. Not overly complex, but very enjoyable. Grapefruit, passion fruit, citrus and grassiness in aroma and flavors, almost a hint of sweetness. Some minerality in the finish. Good acidity balances out the wine. On the softer side for NZ Sauvignon Blanc. (482 views)
