Reviews and Ratings

Olivier de Maisonneuve rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

What an enticing nose! medium aromatic, mostly with pear and hints of white flowers.And that note of white pepper,that i also found on the palate.Fairly creamy texture, which is very sensual.Dry style.I'm more used to a crisper wine, but this is a lovely version.

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Fresh lemon-lime nose on this Marlborough , NZ Gruner Veltliner. Palate shows white tree fruit and lots of citrus, with a dry, medium-bodied mouthfeel and citrus finish.
Tasted April 2016

Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Deep yellow color.

Aromas of peach, white flower and orange peel.

On the palate, this white is soft, creamy and the finish is medium.

Pair it with fish in white sauce.

Serve it at 8-10 degrees.

Alex & Priya - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Priya: The first thing I think when smelling this is that it reminds me of white turkey meat. It has a bit of grassiness as well. The taste is interesting. It's a bit effervescent, slightly oily in texture and a bit bitter on the finish, as they say. 87pts

Alex: Unique stuff here, New Zealand Gruner. It's akin to a warmer version of Austria as you'd expect, vaguely tropical in fruit with green mango and underripe passionfruit. There's also your hallmark grassy and withe pepper elements as well. And I do see Priya's call of turkey meat. Herbal and fruity palate, almost full-bodied, with good flavour concentration. Impressive! 88pts

Jacky Blisson rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Pale yellow. Fragrant nose of white peach, florals and underlying vegetal/ herbal notes. Juicy, rounded acidity and a medium body on the palate. Flavours of honeyed peach and subtle spice feature. Attractive, but lacking varietal typicity.
