A finely made Marlborough SB that captures the solar freshness of the region, without, as MrGarreth note, resorting to some of the more suspect characteristics. Pithy, yet creamy, showing grapefruit and lime with some tropical fruit custard notes. There is a touch of grassiness, but it's restrained. Nice length, very food friendly.

Citrus (more orange than lemon) on the nose, and with some passion fruit and tropical flowers. It’s so drinkable, kiwi sauv with none of the worst excesses - I’m looking at you, Cloudy Bay - of grass and gooseberry. A really charming wine.

Would quite happily order again, went superbly with our chicken lemon and basil.

Classic NZ Sauvignon Blanc, zesty gooseberry and melon.
