Jane Staples rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Crisp and extra-dry with mouth-watering acidity dancing off against the herbal /grassy/citrus lime notes. Pair with grilled garlic shrimp.

Just enjoyed this wine with lunch today. I must say I am a devoted, Kim Crawford Sauvignon fan, but this Whitehaven has me second guessing myself. I think it was the fact the wine is refreshing on the palate with a clean finish which lasts a while. Subtle and clean it its finish, myself and my guests equally enjoyed it with our different meal choices. It's a perfect 'go-to' wine for a luncheon. I sensed peach accents with every sip and a pleasant and not too strong tropical fruit aroma. It's truly a yummy wine to say the least. Thumbs up!

You like Sauvignon blanc from NZ? This is for you. Nose of grapefruit and freshly cut grass and mouth full of acidity and life.
