Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A very charming, medium-bodied Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc classic with lemongrass, lime zest, guava, passionfruit and fresh cut grass aromas and flavours crisp, silky and long on the palate that finishes on a stony mineral note. Beautifully balanced with just the right amount of acidity, this SB is more complex than intense and very quaffable chilled on its own. Tasted April 2023 with freshly steamed Saltspring Island mussels, an absolutely delish pairing.
