Pale lemon in colour with persistent fine petulance on the glass. Aromas are mostly floral green herbs with a hint of jalape�o. On the palate, medium bodied citrus, lemon/lime, green herbs, floral, saline, high acidity with a long finish to chalky minerality & jalapeno. Flavour is good but not complex. Not getting tropical notes of previous reviewers, needed to be consumed younger?

Fresh mowed grass, mineral, herbs, slight toasted oak, garden vegetable, and passionfruit. High acidity. Nice balance with sweetness, long citrus finish. A different flavor profile than some NZ Sauvignon Blanc IMO. The common grapefruit notes are very background.

This is one of the best Sauvignon Blancs I've had. Love it. All the tropical goodness in the Aroma and on the palate with some complexity. Passion Fruit, Grapefruit, grass notes. Finish is wonderful and long. Acidity is bright and mouth watering. I'll be back for more of this

Took this to a Korean BBQ restaurant.100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Dillons Point and Wairau Valley subregions. No skin contact. Grassy aromas. Good acidity. Notes of citrus and gooseberries. Rounder than many NZSBs. Glad I bought it on WS’s 93 point score. 92 points.

Pale lemon colour. nose: passionfruit, asparagus, pomelo, pink grapefruit; some herbal aromas - geranium, tomato leaf. taste: medium (+) acidity, fresh; some candy notes at the first attack. pls herbal stuff. passionfruit, grapefruit, pomel. Maybe could be longer but what else could you expect from Kiwi SB at this price point.
