Reviews and Ratings

Ryan Hindmarsh rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The New Zealand Marlborough region makes some classic tasting Sauv Blancs. This smells like grass, gooseberry and grapefruit and has mouth watering acidity that keeps you wanting more. Just like the first time you heard that Def Leppard tape in your Walkman. Red light , yellow light, green light go. Pour some of this sugar in my glass and pass me a salty cracker.
Pure yet flavorsome wine with gentle tangy passion fruit, lemon grass and red capsicum flavours. Elegant rather than blockbuster style with energy and drive. Score: 4 (out of 5) Source: Bob Campbell, MW, bobswinereviews.com

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.

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.
