Tasted at Virgin Wines event. Fresh fruit blossoming with gentle mushroom complexity, this has good medium body and complexity. Light, forgettable Pinot it is not.

Now this is a solid. Love the smaller SB wines from New Zealand. Grapefruit, floral, mild spice and some tropical fruit. Good acidity.

I wasn't expecting much but was very pleasantly surprised. Consumed over 2 days. Acidity nicely balanced. Nice herbal and floral notes to complement the fruit.

A Christmas gift. I enjoyed this lively and tasty SB more than I was expecting. Bright refreshing acidity. I enjoyed the level of grass and grapefruit notes.

Distinct notes of tropical fruit and an abundance of different flowers. Warm and cozy. Easy to drink and good QPR.

A nose of some citrus and spice, straw in color. A light to medium bodied white, with pineapple, lemon, decent acidity and spice on finish. www.winelx.com

New Zealand London Annual Trade Tasting (London): The wine shows higher intensity in the nose than the palate, green fruit, tropical fruit, crispy, medium body

New Zealand London Annual Trade Tasting (London): The wine is nice, tasty, fresh, some butter notes, ripe stone fruit, a bit spicy, pleasant to drink with a rather short finish.

This is a well balanced NZ SB. The citrus notes are less grapefruit and slightly softened compared to the average, and there are some tropical fruit and floral notes underneath the citrus. I disagree with the Krassens note below about it being "stingy" although I agree there is a hint of mint in the nose and palate. Medium finish. Great QPR

Very young, quite stingy nose of nettles and gooseberries, high citric acidity with the expected SB pointers. On the mintier side.

Point of difference is that its organically farmed grapes. Certified in NZ but not FDA. The ode to the land is the property on the land. The Kim Crawford Killer is the idea.
