    June 19, 2016 - Not sure what others were drinking - nothing sweet about this wine. Very crisp - grapefruit and grassy. Nice summer wine

    September 2, 2015 - Pale yellow color. Clean. Nose of lime and fresh cut grass. Dry acidity. Light bodied. Lime, green leaves, citrus,  refreshing. Short but good finish. Recommended.

    May 29, 2015 - Le Matua Sauvignon blanc est d’abord doté d’une couleur faible intensité qui tire sur le jaune-vert. Son nez est loin d’être timide cependant avec l’exubérance de ses arômes dominés par un parfum d'herbe fraîchement coupée, de melon, de groseille et de lime. Pour faire changement du Kim Crawford qui est un vin signature de ce pays, je crois que le Matua vous séduira par sa fraîcheur et son acidité vive qui vont s’apprivoiser plus facilement à table en compagnie de nourriture. C’est un blanc sec, ample et aux saveurs un peu tropicales avec ses notes de citron et d’agrumes.

    March 8, 2015 - I'm on day 2 of this bottle and surprisingly, it has changed very little since yesterday. This is so different from the SB I usually buy and drink from California. Much more citrus, acidic but I like it. Appealing, clear color. Very, very grapefruit-y so pairing with food might be a bit of a challenge.

    February 13, 2015 - Nice mix of spicy herbal with citrus. Good acidity so goes well with food. Had with chicken, but should also go well with fish.
