Bell pepper, grass, citris on the nose, hints of lees indicating some oak aging. High acid, citris, white pepper; but not really the passionfruit that I associate with NZ SB.

"2014" Sydney International Wine Show - stewarding notes; 10/13/2013-10/18/2013 (Blue Mountains, NSW): {screwcap, 14%} Yellow-green. Intense, pungent, youthful nose of lychees and gooseberry. Fairly screams Marlborough savvy. The palate is an odd mix; it only really struck me as light/medium-bodied; the alcohol didn’t seem noticeable, the guava, gooseberry & lychee flavours were quite pronounced. There seems to be enough acid to balance things out and keep it crisp on the medium-length finish. Not bad, but for drinking now.
