November 29, 2020 - New mown grass/ passion fruit / almost apricot on the nose and palette....very rounded and full bodied. I would imagine at its best.

June 9, 2018 - I was a little taken aback at the style of this wine which I certainly would have suggested to come from New Zealand had I tasted it blind. Acidity with citrus/gooseberry notes was very much to the fore. Not bad overall

January 22, 2018 - No major flaws. Classic SB grapefruit and grass. Not too sweet. Not quite enough fruit to get it into the 90's. I recommend if you can get it under $10.
