Natalie's Score: 92/100

Zesty, herbal with notes of chives, lemongrass and lime zest. This is the wine that put New Zealand on the map. Love how it's far more citrus than herbal. Mouth-watering and medium-bodied but packed with flavour. There's some refreshing white grapefruit and green melon on a long finish. medium-bodied and packed with flavour an character.

Probably one of the best Sauvignon Blanc wines I have tasted to date. Spectacular. Fresh and crisp with flavors of citrus and grapefruit. Also some herbal notes and a great finish.

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.
