Didn't really care for this very much. Overbearing fruit and tartness, consumed late in the night so palate was shot, but didn't find this enjoyable at all.

Although citrusy, the wine was just a little 'flat' ... not all there. It's definitely a NZ sauv blanc with grapefruit/citrus on the nose and palate and bracing acidity.

PnP after a light chill. Clear silvery yellow colour. Pink grapefruit litchi and fresh mowed grass on the nose.Plate echos the nose bracing but not harsh lemony peel finish. Good value.

Pale straw color. Classic, strong aromatics of cut grass, grapefruit and (I hate to use this, but it really reminds me of) cat pee. Tangy acid, tart and crisp approach, the lime and white peach is laced with mowed lawn and white pepper. Simple, typical flavor-profile, but pleasant.

Grassy nose of guava, lemongrass, melon, and mango. This is pithy and crisp in the mouth, showing a good cut, and lime and lime blossom flavors that are countered by a stony, briny character.

clear pale straw yellow. tropical and grassy, typical Marlborough nose, but moderate. still pungent flavours in mouth, balanced with some sweetness. well made commercial wine, satisfying international modern palate.
Not your typical NZ sauv blanc in that it's not a grapefruit 'bomb' like Kim Crawford, no this is more CA style with grass/lemongrass. Nice acidity and it went great with the pesto pasta shrimp! It's still young.

The little bit of age on this seemed to have mellowed out this wine. Still great acid and fruit, but not as astringent as it was when young.

Light yellow with a hint of lime juice color. Very bright and tart. Nice and refreshing. Low alcohol, nice summer sipper for a hot day.

Airport wine bar purchase. Very good with the characteristic grassy aromas accentuated with lime and notes of jalapeño pepper. Affordable.
