October 11, 2015 - Pale, lemony green. Quite a neutral nose. Mineral and yeasty. Then some beeswax notes and nutty aromas. Crisp, bone dry and really flowing on the palate.

March 14, 2015 - An interesting experience. Pungent mineral, lime and white flower with a touch of toast. New World style body -- very light with sharp mineral and ample acidity in finish. Nice effort and much better than many NZ Sauvignon Blanc.

April 26, 2014 - A lovely wine. Very green feeling is a really good way. Pears, apples, grass and a little lanolin like a Torrontes. Great mouthfeel with a soft, plush and slightly oily feel that a good Semillon can provide, unlike a Torrontes. Really quite nice.

April 8, 2012 - Aromas of lime, cream, and at touch of petrol. Still quite youthful on the palate with plenty of acidity. Quite restrained with subtle citrus notes on the palate, but with good depth (especially at 11%). Would love to see where this goes with more time as it should round out further and gain a honeyed richness.
