A superb New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with aromas of grapefruit, nettles, chives and lime citrus. Not too grassy. So refreshing. Cool climate white wine at its best. Dive in. Pair with scallops or quiche.

Reviews and Ratings

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

Gorgeous, crisp and zesty. Consistently fresh and zippy year after year. Lime zest, gooseberry, hint of herbaceous. Mouthwatering acidity, good balance. Pairs well with citrus drizzled jumbo sea scallops and lemongrass- infused fragrant jasmine rice. Great value. Tasted 2017 vintage in April 2018. 90 points

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.
