PnP. Nearly clear with straw hue and clear edge in color. Pungent nose of tomato leaf, gooseberry and kiwi. On the palate, kiwi, gooseberries, lemongrass and lime. Medium weight with good acid, but is softer than many comparable MB Sauv Blancs. Long finish of kiwi, limeaid and sweet cream.

Pale yellow nose is mainly grassy, gooseberry and rescued by a little passion fruit. Flavours are a little more passion fruit, medium+ body and bright acid. Don't be afraid to carafe this.

Mineral, grapefruit, passion fruit, green apple, and lime nose. Dry, zesty palate; vibrant, fresh finish. 3.5/5

This is a classic NZ-style SB... Which I just do not like... Too tart & acidic, even without food. I'm sure it is a good quality example of NZ SB, so if you are a fan... Go for it...

Classic zippy NZ Sauvignon Blanc, with loads of gooseberry and “cat pee” flavors and a crisp, mineral finish with hints of lime.
