North Canterbury. Region is in between Marlborough and central otego. Not a grapefruit punch, rather melon rind, grass, earth, and more neutrality than cranked up Marlborough. Palate is a touch round, passion fruit and mango all over this guy! Great for price.
Medium plus nose shows gooseberry, elderflower, green pepper, lime zest, grapefruit. Palate is juicy, tropical, nice layers that show lemon zest, citrus flavors, guava, but without too much of that sometimes off putting NZ style. Nice in that way, medium plus acidity, medium plus alcohol is higher than most (14%), finishes with those juicy tropical notes. Nice QPR.

Notes of melon, grapefruit, plenty of lemon/lime and hints of spice. Mouthwatering and excellent.
