Tania Thomas rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Vinified with the grapes from the combination of warmer and cooler vineyards to achieve ripe tropical flavours while maintaining crisp acidity comes this vibrant Sauvignon Blanc. Dry and medium in body, it delivers aromas and flavours of citrus with abundant ripe tropical flavour and a touch of dry herbs. Closes in a clean, crisp finish. Perfect paired with all seafood, especially simply prepared scallops and mussels.

Shelley Harris rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A crisp and light, citrus-y wine with a slight effervescence complemented a pasta primavera meal, full of lightly sauteed vegetables and loaded with fresh basil and garlic and topped with Romano cheese.

Matt Steeves rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A well made, value priced Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, NZ. Exotic fruit, lemon, with floral and herbaceous notes. Refreshing acidity with a long exotic fruit and grassy finish. Pair with green salads with creamy goat cheese and citrus based dressings. Tasted November 2014. 88+ points. Matt Steeves @QuercusVino
