Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Green papaya, capsicum, unripe mango, grass, lime leaf, and a slight hint of white stone fruit. Lovely summer sipper. 90 points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)
Gwen Barton rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

New Zealand produces some wonderful Sauv Blanc wines- this one from Marlborough is no exception. Nice combination of herbaceousmess, citrus and tropical fruit. Lively acidity. Easy to enjoy on its own or try with pasta carbonara.
Jane Staples rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

From Marlborough, NZ, a Sauv Blanc with delicious aromas of guava and lime leaf. The mouth-watering palate has a delightful melange of lime, guava and a slight coriander note. Dry, good acidity, long citrus finish- a very enjoyable SB.

Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2015, Wairau Valley, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: Grassy, herbal and terrifically refreshing!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
