Light yellow in color and nicely aromatic, this wine delivers gooseberry, pineapple and dusty tangerine on both the nose and palate. Light-bodied, crisply acidic and with well-integrated alcohol (13.5%), it stays solid in the middle and adds a spice component on the medium-length back end. Refreshing and consistent with its terroir, this is a pleasant Sauvignon Blanc which should be consumed in its youth. Drink now-2016.

On the nose, lime zest, pickling spice, hint asparagus, little brine, sweet basil. On the palette, lime, gooseberry, grapefruit pith, asparagus, high acidity, little heat. QPR is ok but there is many more enjoying wines at this price for me.

The floral nose on this wine is what I love in a newish white. A tad sweet but nice ripe fruit, and a sophisticated taste all the way down. Love it.

A pleasant wine not typically NZ with a softer less citrusy character than most. Some characteristics seemed more like a CA SB.
