Unscrewed and poured. Vibrant lemon/lime aroma. Very tart flavors of citrus, wet stone, and minerals. Intense citrus finish. Firm acids that stop just short of enamel stripping intensity. Linear, with lively, fresh flavors. Very good value.
Proof that NZ can make a quality sauvignon blanc that isn't a parody of itself - which I knew, but empirical evidence has been hard to come by.

Medium nose shows white flowers, kiwi, lime zest. Palate more expressive, grapefruit zest, passionfruit, lime juice, limestone, mineral tone that is nice, juicy but clean, medium plus acidity and finish. Not over the top and nice for entry level.

Nose: very mild green herbaceous notes, gooseberry and pressed fruit. Palate: tropical, with guava and lime. Good acidity, nicely balanced, this a well made S. blanc.
