Don't be afraid to try this from New Zealand. This is deliciousness in a glass. Not a grapefruit bomb. This is one our favorites from NZ for the PricePoint. It has that citrus tang upfront but then just smooths out to a really mellow lychee flavor. Had this with a baked cod and braised kale.

Popped and poured - light, slightly hazy, pale yellow color with powerful and youthful sweet citrus, grass, mineral and tropical fruit aromatics. Over time, this unfolded into sweet pink grapefruit and a touch of mineral. Dry and full-bodied, this is extremely elegant with a smooth acidity, medium tannin, and flavors of pineapple and citrus that rounded out into long finishing grapefruit. This is very drinkable right out of the gate and should drink well for the next 2-4 years. Would love to have a touch more acidity, but at this price point, it's a winner for me that I would drink or serve any time.

This is a clear, light yellow colored wine. The nose is not very expressive. This has the typical flavors of a New Zealand Sauv. Blanc, but the intensity is quite tame. The consistency is silky, and the body is a bit lean. It's a very balanced wine, and overall a good wine. The acidity is refreshing, and not "in your face."
