  December 29, 2020 - WOW! Quel Sauvignon Blanc. La Nouvelle Zélande ne cesse de m'impressionner avec ses blancs. Malheureusement, il n'est plus disponible.

  July 13, 2019 - On ne peut plus Sauvignon.
  Nez expressif pamplemousse et gazon fraichement coupé.
  En bouche, pot-pourri d'agrumes, assez bien équilibre acidité-sucrosité.
  Bon vin de terrasse, serait dificille à accorder sinon avec mets asiatiques sucrés-salés.

  February 12, 2019 - Medium straw color. Low-medium viscosity. Nose: ripe melon flesh, unripe melon rind, rubber, gooseberry, just-ripe passion fruit, a little citrus zest, very pretty, more expressive and better integrated as it warms from fridge temperature. Palate: follows nose but with more summers-day grass, medium acid - zippy entry, less so in the mid-palate and just a touch awkward on the back end, a little grip, medium-plus alcohol. Grip and almond note at the end of the finish suggests this has seen some oak. Rounder and less overtly acidic than a lot of NZ SB. Very nice, great QPR. 13%, $18. 89+
