Blanched yellow color. Lemondrop-lawn nose. Lemon, fresh white grape, green herb (basil), and well controlled acidity that pounds home the long finish. Exceeds the price.

Had this vintage and also the 2005 as well. The 2004 was definitely the better of the two, with the 2005 being a touch more acidic with less fruit on the palate. The 2004 though had plenty of lemon and citrus on the palate, nice acidity, great mouthfeel, medium to long finish. As with previous notes on this wine, keep it well chilled and it will keep you very content!

Sweet and fruity. Not dry at all. Peachy.

Great acidity, fruit to balance. Young and fresh, what we normally expect from an NZ SB.

Lots of lime and citrus peel on the nose. Great acidity, with melon, lime and grassy flavors.
