90/100 with the following review:
An almost colourless yellow in the glass, this racy Sauv Blanc delivers typical gooseberry, grassy notes with just a little cat's pee and minerality. The zippy acidity is almost effervescent making it very food frreindly. Concentrated fruity finish.

90/100 with the following review:
Water white colour with a vibrant, fruity, grassy bouquet. Kiwi, starfruit, gooseberry, asparagus, freshly cut pineapple skins and wet rock notes. Also a touch of rosemary. This brightens up in on the palate with apple fruit, grapefruit, citrus and kiwi fruit again. Light bodied, very tart, crisp and refreshing. Pair with herbed goats cheese and chicken salad wraps.
90 points - November 2017

Delicious, fresh and lively Sauv Blanc with grassy, green bean, apple and citrus aromas and flavours leading to a medium-long nutty finish. Pretty cool stuff. Enjoy with grilled chicken breast topped with herbed goat cheese.

Pale yellow in the glass, a nice blend of cut grass and lime on the nose. Tropical fruit notes with a smooth crisp finish with medium acidity. Delicious with a white fish.

New Zealand does Sauv. Blanc well and this is another excellent example. Grassy and herbaceous. Lemon and lime pith nose with mouth watering acidity. Ripe pineapple and grapefruit flavours that linger. Tasted November 19, 2017.

One fresh Sauv Blanc! Glistening brilliance in the glass, with aromas of freshly cut grass and lime that carry through with persistent zippiness and a lengthy lime finish.
Beautiful with goat cheese or chicken kiev.
Tasted November 2017.

Tropical and revivifying, this New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is bright and fruity. Mango, passion fruit, grapefruit, tangerine and kiwi aromas intoxicate your nose as you sip this intensely zesty and thirst quenching white!

There's everything good about New Zealand savvy, with citrus and a hit of unripe stone fruit, and just a bit of capsicum and green tropical fruit. Perfect balance. 91 points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)

This handcrafted Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from a small family winery packs a big punch. Aromas of ripe tropical fruit give way to zesty flavors of lime, peach and herbs. This would be great paired with a plate of creamy seafood pasta.
