Reviews and Ratings

A brilliant example of the variety from this season. It’s vibrant, bouncy and with a precise pristine purity that threads right through a very long palate. Lovely texture and mouth feel with intense fruit driven to a lively finish. Fine delicate acid holds it tight and long. A beauty. Sauvignon Blanc was very strong in 2009 and this is a terrific example of high-class Margaret River sav blanc that provides a distinct point of difference to the fuller and more obvious wines of New Zealand.
