  Prominent gooseberry and grapefruit--seemed quite tart and not ripe despite the winery's description--? bottle variation or just my palate.

  Loved the previous bottle and picked up some more. Just as good. PnP. Aromas of grapefruit, citrus, apricot, pineapple, with a hint of herbal. Rich on the palate, but not heavy, showing grapefruit, citrus, apricot, pineapple, herbal, slight grassiness. Good acidity, but mellows in the finish. very enjoyable.

  Nice flinty nose, ripe fruit that’s orchard and tropical, along with a grassy, herbal quality. Good.

  Kept getting better till day 3. Stored under an airless storage system. Clean nose. Gooseberries and other typical kiwi sauv blanc characteristics. Good acidity and crispiness balanced by what feels like more residual sugar than I expected. Good balance and elegance in the crowd pleasing direction. I would try to drink the other bottles a bit later or give it a chance to get some air. Not expensive here and good value for me. Paired with a crispy skin fried barramundi
