June 4, 2020 - Green apple, lime, gooseberry, and a ton of tropical aromas and flavors. Zesty acidity and minerality, with a long tart and juicy finish. Very refreshing.

March 31, 2020 - Although I'm generally not a white wine drinker, a Sauvignon Blanc was one of the recommended pairings with Asian stir fry - so I thought it was worth a shot.
Kono turned out to be a great choice as noted by Wine Spectator's 90-point assessment: "Concentrated, intense and focused Key lime and lemon sherbet flavours are bright, smooth and very refreshing, with a touch of lemon verbena on the finish."
The wine complemented my wife's dish perfectly. I'll definitely add another couple of bottles for future meals. -

January 30, 2020 - A real bargain SB at under $10... nice NZ palette. Excellent everyday white for lunch or afternoon snacks, will buy some of this one!
