  October 17, 2015 - Mint, passion fruit, Thai basil, grapefruit, grass. Medium acid, a little estery. V good tropical/herbaceous SB, especially for people who struggle with catty/vegetal expressions of the grape. 13%, $18.

  September 30, 2015 - Absolutely loved this. Dominant taste is gooseberries, length is good enough and it is smooth and light to medium bodied. Just enough acidity to make the end of the bottle as good as the start.

  April 27, 2015 - Aromas of freshly cut grass, goosberries, crushed blackurrant leaves and bit of yeast. Not too strong, but just classic NZ Sauvignon Blanc.
  On the palate the wine has quite a bit of viscosite, almost a bit creamy.
  Nice gooseberries, lemon and also some pineapple. Good lenght. Surprisingly strong acidity, that clean`s the palate nicely and keeps the flavors fresh; this is an awesome summer wine just to drink on it´s own.
  A great value for sure.

  November 20, 2014 - Light gold color. Strongly aromatic, with lime, guava and grapefruit, along with river rocks, nettles and some white flowers. Tangy and clean with a vibrant personality. The white peach, lime and grapefruit flavors are refreshing and laced with notes of green onion, nettles, white flowers. Also shows some nice mineral components. Quite pretty.
