Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A very summery combo of aromas- honeysuckle, lime, lavender and mineral. The delightful palate shows tropical guava, tangelo and lime with great acidity and lingering tangelo finish. I'll be buying this again soon!
Tasted April 2017
This wine won a Gold Medal at the 2016 China Wine & Spirits Awards. It was blended from nineteen cool-climate vineyards throughout the regions of Marlborough, Waipara and Nelson. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
