  Incredibly this wine is still ok. Served blind and it was obviously NZ Sauv Blanc but the age was not noticeable.
  Ripe citrus grapefruit, stone fruit, tropical fruit, mango, passionfruit. Gooseberry, jalapeno.

  Good pear tones with a bit of mineral flavor. Consistent.

  A fine example of NZ Sauv Blanc, this wine is light lemon in appearance, with a pronounced nose. The nose is full of the typical gooseberry, green pea, and passion fruit, with hints of coconut, and a distinct herbal quality ( thyme?). Medium-bodied, medium alcohol, and high acidity, this is a tangy and refreshing wine, delivering a palate of passion fruit and dried peach. All on all a quality wine , at a value price , from an iconic NZ winery. Great with spicy food - in this case , baked salmon with a cajun crust, accompanied by a sweetcorn and pepper salsa.

  The best $10 NZ Sauv Blanc I've tried.
