  Light silver-gold with green hints. Light tropical fruits on the nose - lime, light mango, gooseberry perhaps, some tinned pineapple; a really delicious, fruit nose - some white pepper as well. Juicy taste with gooseberries and lime, especially lime cordial, with cidery apples. Good acid makes it work well with food, but it's fine on its own too. Not OTT - delicious.

  Good, strong and balanced. Typically NZ sauvignon, but not in any way overly fruity or too grassy. Tropical fruits, lime, minerals, grass. A little sweet fruit nicely offsets some bracing dryness.

  Light hay colours, with a lovely lightly-yellow glint. Balanced light, floral nose with citrus, especially lime, and tropical fruits - lovely, could be so much more OTT but it stops short and all the better for that. Lime, gooseberry and passion fruit to taste, with good balance and nice acid; delicious.

  Tropical juice...only lacks a bit of minerality but for that look at Sancerre
