2nd white wine after Kung Fu Girl that I “really” tasted. A lot different on the nose, more passion fruit and general “tropical notes”, as described. Maybe I shouldn’t have read the label beforehand.. Taste seems to be in the same style as notes, with maybe some citrus vibes as well.

Solid as usual Typical nose with black-currant leaves, citrus and passion fruit. Typical green tones, fresh acidity (lemon-lime) on the palate.

Typical, delivers the acidity and subtle exotic fruit; pith on the finish.

Peach nose, smooth fruity taste, very nice with seafood. One of the nicest whites I've had.

Crisp citrus and palate cleansing. Well balanced with a twist of watermelon. Im just not a fan of Sauv Blanc, too watery.

We had this near the end of a heavy night of wine tasting, and thought it was great. Recently bought a bottle to see how clouded our judgement was at the time, and I can see why I'd like it after drinks. It does have a short finish, but there is something about the initial 'mouthfeel' and smell that really leaves an impression. Its something like the lychee aromas from gewurtz wine, but more aromatic. Funny thing is the wine …

No faults, just very classic, and a bit ordinary, SB.

Pale yellow color. Light body with dry grapes notes and limited complexity. No finale with not much fruit or sugar hints. Not sure this even qualify for good price vs. quality ratio.

Hey again. Pale straw colour, light nose...light capiscum clean acidity. Nice palate....fairly light flavours, easily a drinking style SB rather than a food style. Uncomplicated...and giod value. Stay thirsty....

New vintage (current release on the Swedish monopoly). This is not a wine that I rate highly, but wife likes it, so have to live with it, and have an occasional glass now and then. Very similar to previous vintages I have had, can’t tell the difference between them, in this large scale industrial “wine”. More like some kind of sweet elderberry lemonade than wine. Smells and tastes of elderberries, black currant leafs and cat pee (not sure how cat …

An "industrial wine" with no faults but not that interesting either.

Simple wine. Very typical with elderberries, grass, flowers and some tropical fruits on both the nose and palate. Okay, but nothing more. Fresh on a hot summer afternoon it was, hence an extra bonus point.

Crisp and refreshing with nice acidity. Most a fruit and grass driven wine with slight minerality. Good wine for the price.

Mouth watering. Need I say more. Okay...glistening sunlight color, citrus on the nose but not overwhelming with traditional grapefruit. Lots of Granny Smith apple mixed with some grapefruit and other citrus tones. Elegant and restrained, but clearly left you wanting more. One of the best NZ SBs we've had. .

A watery pale yellow colour. A classic Marlborough nose of grass, asparagus, gooseberry and granny smith apples. pronounced granny smith apple and citrus on the palate with a pleasurable saliva soaking finish.
