Reviews and Ratings

Cherie Cole rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Light and lively citrus on the nose and palate with mango, pineapple and a touch of green bean. Racy acidity with a tropical fruit finish. Tasted Oct 02, 2016.
Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Good value for a NZ Sauvigon Blanc - all the classic aromas and flavours are there: green bell pepper, green beans, gooseberry and grass, wrapped up in a light-bodied, zesty, citrusy package. Would pair well with salad, light fish dishes, and sunny days!
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A zingy Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, which is close to transparent, brilliant platinum in the bowl. Showing lime leaf, unripe green mango flesh, gooseberry and a hint of lime zest. Great acidity, refreshing and zesty mouthfeel. Pairs well with green Thai curry or Thai chicken stir fry. @jonsteeves rated 88/100 - bespoketastings.ca
Nick Onischuk - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

The White Cliff Sauvignon Blanc 2015 is an easy going medium bodied wine. Citrus fruit, grass and minerality. Tasted October 2016 (88/100)
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

It might look like water but there is no mistaking this New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc for water. Pungent aromas of guava, green mango, and tomato leaf dominate the nose, while the palate is overcome by a rush of lime and grapefruit flavours. This Sauv Blanc is light bodied and a touch disjointed for my tasted. Still, it's easy drinking and crowd pleasing. Enjoy as an aperitif. Tasted Oct 2016. @sommsosa | bespoketasting.ca
