Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Visually, this Sauvignon Blanc is stunningly bright. Fragrant on the nose with aromas of peach, grapefruit, lychee, floral notes, and freshly cut grass with a touch of saline.

Medium-bodied and dry, this wine is present on the palate. In terms of flavours, it has lemon and pomelo notes with gentle wood and saline notes coming through.

Tasted Aug 2020.

Pair with herbed-crusted chicken or with fried zucchini.

Pam Hatton rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Pale straw colour yields to a restrained elegant Old World nose of floral, stone fruit and citrus and a hint of spice . Round and medium bodied on the palate with citrus -acidity to keep it balanced , peach and lemon long finish

Courtney Flood rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Very dry, mouth watering sauvignon blanc. Lemon, lime, fresh cut parsley. Perfect seafood wine.

Colette Martin rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Refreshing aromas of citrus and ripe peach with mineral undertones. The aromas carry nicely onto the palate with great acidity, crisp mouthfeel and a longer than expected finish with hints of cedar. A complex wine that would pair well with a creamy pasta.
