  Bright and fresh with good acidity. Big passion fruit nose upfront with other tropical flavours in the mix.

  New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in the $20 range (in Canada) doesn't get much better than this. Stoneleigh's basic (yet highly impressive) expression offers powerful aromas of passion fruit, guava, nettle, lime, asparagus, and stony minerality, with more of that minerality leading the way on the palate along with lemon-lime, those great tropical fruit notes, and savoury greenness. It's certainly on the sharp side, as one expects from good-quality New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, with razor-like acidity and texture, but it isn't over the top and it maintains its balance throughout (there's just enough softer fruit to balance the sharpness), with admirable depth and complexity.

  Fijne heel drinkbare wijn,. Half droog.
  Fruitige aanzet met perzik en pompelmoes snel gevolgd door frisse smaak van granny Smith en paprikasteel.
  Gaat goed bij iets vollere gerechten, vette vis, aperitief.
