Pale straw. Smelled mango, pineapple, kiwi, and nettle; the taste is end to end fruit, adding some tangerine to the above. Medium-minus mouthfeel, balanced acidity with the fruit, good intensity, and a long fruit finish. Great stuff here.

What a white wine! The nose gives off strong tropical fruit vibes, slight herbal tone and some minerality but the palate…explodes with fruit. Mandarin, passion fruit, guava, pineapple…nice bright acidity that finishes soft somehow and lingers on the palate. Def recommend and def buy again

Pale gold color. Rich nose of grapefruit and lemon. Rich and crisp on the palate, lemons, minerals, grapefruit, hint of sharp spice. The grapefruit softens with just a bit of air. I'd suggest letting this sit open for 60 minutes (unless grapefruit is your thing) or even better, decant it. The grapefruit was much less pronounced (and the wine was better for it) on Day 2. Lovely acidity, great balance. Finishes long, gradual and surprisingly elegant. A lovely and refreshing wine. Hard to miss its NZ origins! Drink next 4 years.

The greywacke stone native to the region. Just gives it a little bit of a funky edge to it. Just a bit. Liked it more last time. Very mineral on the palate as well.

Tropical notes on nose and entry but finishes crisp on citrus notes. Long and fresh. Really liked it.
