Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Here's a clear, pale straw yellow wine with light aromas of lemongrass and passionfruit. These are echoed on the palate along with ripe gooseberry. Mediumbodied with gooseberry finish.
Great with grilled white fish or chicken salad.

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Aromas gooseberry, stonefruit, and lemon, with flavours of tart lemon. This would pair best with a light, green salad.

Chris Coughlin - WSET level 3 grad rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Solid sauvignon blanc from Sandbanks, all the things you would expect to see: Lemon, citrus, gooseberry and grassy notes. Tasty and simple.

Nick Onischuk - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

The Sandbanks Estate Winery Sauvignon Blanc 2012 is an enjoyable wine. Features lemon, fruit and stone. (86/100) Tasted July 14, 2014

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Fresh, clean , light and lively Sauvignon Blanc from PEC. Pale lemon-green with clean aromas of pear, oxidized apple, apricot, honey, floral, wet hay.
Wine is dry with mouthwatering acidity. Palate leads more toward green apple, lemon-lime, zest, floral, stony minerality, herbs.
Perfect salad wine or everyday white sipper.
Short crisp finish.
Drink now.
Tasted- July 2014

Terry Jeans - Certified S rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Lemon grass, tropical fruit/mango, high acid with a short finish. Easy sipper with some summer bbq seafood. Not complex, but tasty.

Valérie Dufour - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 80/100 with the following review:

Lemon on the nose. Very straight forward not too compicated apero wine. Fruity, but short.
