Craig Haynes rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

In my glass, their 2022 Earth Garden Sauvignon Blanc is big, bright, and beautiful expressions of passion fruit, cut grass, white grapefruit, and lime zest. For me, this creation from New Zealand’s renowned Marlborough wine region feels fantastic too. Its medium bodied, pleasing dry, and blessed with a lightly oily texture. To be clear, there’s no bumps on this ride. Enjoy.

PS - The Earth Garden line of wines from New Zealand's Villa Maria are described by the company as 100% organically grown and Bio Gro certified.

A flavourful, lively organic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Villa Maria Vineyards. Pale lemon green colour with elements of grass, papaya, and gooseberry with flavours of nectarine, pomelo citrus and a light arugula heat spice on the finish. Light bodied with some white pepper repeating heat on the finish. A mouthwatering pairing for game hen, and pesto pizza. Enjoy! - tasted August 2022
