Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a lower alcohol Sauvignon Blanc, clocking in at a respectable 7%. This has a lovely balance of citrus and tropical fruit, with underlying gooseberry and green herbal hints. This wine is slightly softer than a typical NZ Savvy B, but in a nice way. Palatable, refreshing, and versatile, enjoy this with salads, egg dishes, or white fish.

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.
