Natalie's Score: 89/100

This is vibrant, zesty white wine blends the best of Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of New Zealand style: lime and mineral, cut grass and a hint of gooseberry. Fresh and dry with a crisp, refreshing finish. A balanced and refreshing sauvignon blanc that’s not overly herbal or oaked. A lovely balanced approach with tasty notes of lime, green apple and chives. Try it with shellfish.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: grilled prawns, poached salmon, roasted herbed chicken, goat cheese-stuffed roasted red peppers.

Gold Medal winner at the 2013 Concours Mondial de Sauvignon. This delivers all of the desired Sancerre high-water marks with its touches of smoke and fresh-cut grass notes, but the vibrant gooseberry complexity offers intriguing suggestions of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc as well. Vibrant acidity and excellent fruit replays make for a superb and refreshing wine. Source: Vintages Wine Ratings and Reviews, June 2013
