Medium body, pale golden yellow color, very aromatic, passionflower, melon and citrus aroma, citrus (mostly red grapefruit and ripe mandarins), melon and minerals on the palate, lemon on finish, long finish, very fresh and charm wine, balanced and complex, lovely acidity, food friendly. Well associated with clams or shrimps. Serve 8º - 12º. Drink now.

In my view, New Zealand sauvignon blanc is the only great wine style outside Europe. This is a stellar one. Powerful grapefruit, sweet lychee, vegetal notes, and minerals. The persistent finish makes it seem like you've just eaten a grapefruit.

Хороший совиньон, в аромате экзотические фрукты с тонами свежескошенной травы и разумеется характерные щелочные минералы во вкусе. Сбалансированный новозеландский совиньон, ничего лишнего. Среди минусов, могу выделить отсутствие насыщенности и концентратности. Вино явно хотели выделить из легких, но оно задержалось где-то в промежутке, отсюда весьма посредственное короткое послевкусие.

Excellent. As per previous tasting note, this is one of the best MSB I've tasted for some time. Usually VMCS is just pretty good but 2012 is a great vintage for this wine

light straw yellow with a little green. strong fresh grass, green pepper and gooseberry in nose. typical Marlborough S.B. flavour, clean. medium crispy dry finish with a little mineral hints.
Definitely one of the best NZ SB I've tasted recently. My preference for it was beginning to slide but this has reignited my interest again Excellent fruit notes and very well balanced acidity

Pale straw with slight greenish tinge. Aromas of tropical fruit / grapefruit dominate the acidity, but well integrated wine. Lush, generous, tropical.
