Limpid straw. Fruity, vegetal notes of guava, passion fruit, lemon peel, green bell pepper, and cabbage. Displays refreshing acidity, a hint of brine, and a strong mineral-inflected, citrus zest finish. Great match for spicy food.

The initial feel on the nose is bright and aromatic. Meyer lemon, green grass, and citrus notes. On the palate, there is pineapple, granny smith apple, and slight oak feel. The finish is not lingering but is refreshing. We like this wine. Great with chicken and mushroom pasta.

This has the expected grapefruit, but the fruit is dialed back by NZ standards. Lighter than most NZ SB, but still has bright acidity. A little touch of minerality on the finish was nice too, yet I found this wine rather bland and without anything distinct and seems like a compromise of style that left me wanting.

Flowery nose, citrus, smooth, balanced, not too sweet.
