Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A crisp, fresh, savoury Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc offering great value for price. Long finish with persistence of zesty lime and gooseberry. Tasted 2017 vintage in April 2018. Pairs well with Thai spring rolls, sushi, green Thai curry with eggplant. 90 points
Bouquet - Fragrant passionfruit, tropical fruit aromas with notes of gooseberries and fresh herb
Palate - Dry; lively and bright flavours of gooseberries and passionfruit, fresh herbs, lifted white florals and hints of citrus
