  above average for a NZ SB; well balanced with stone fruit as well as the usual acidity, which is less grapefruit and more lemon/lime; medium finish with muted citrus notes prevailing

  In meiner Jugend gab es die Firn- und Arosazuckerl, in Alkohol aufgelöst dürften sie so ähnlich wie dieser Kiwiwein schmecken. Das ist jetzt ein wenig sehr böse, am zweiten Abend war der Eindruck nicht mehr ganz so penetrant, aber trotzdem werden wir keine dicken Freunde mehr. Für meinen Gaumen viel zu vordergründig und breit.

  PNP and drank while grilling on the 4th of July. Pale gold color. Lime zest, passion fruit, minerals, tomato leaf and a hint of umami. Restrained, with passion fruit, citrus and minerality on the palate. Lovely, affordable.

  Pleasing nose full of white peach, tropical / citrus fruits, and lime. On the palate lots of pithy lime, nectarine, and juicy acidity leads to a crisp tart finish. Deserves a nice fish dish, also fine as an aperitif with salty snacks.
