Natalie's Score: 93/100

A top-notch New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Bursts from the glass with aromas of lime zest, gooseberry and citrus lift. A hint of herbal notes. Racy, nervy acidity for shellfish. Yes please!

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: guacamole, sushi, pasta with cream-based sauce, pizza, grilled salmon.

Reviews and Ratings

Gwen Barton rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Beautiful example of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Lively, mouthwatering acidity with prominent notes of grapefruit, tropical fruit and flinty minerality. Long lovely finish. Had the opportunity to taste this in the presence of winemaker David Edmonds. I agreed with his comment they the wine "is almost jumping out of the glass!".

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.
