Never disappointing. It has everything you nlove about fresh Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and more.It has real gooseberry, kiwi fruit with the classic tropical notes and some nice complexity.

Classic SB from NZ. For those that don't know most of the vines formally made Cloudy Bay - but yet this is $8 cheaper. Really great value

Agatha Szin rated this wine as 90/100

Unsurprisingly this hails from the label of sauvignon pioneers, ex- Cloudy Bay men Ivan Sutherland and James Healy. It’s a powerful, complex example with an emphasis on intense savoury herbaceous notes of oregano and boxwood over ripe melon fruit supported by a zesty line of flint and citrus. Serve a sauvignon like this as an aperitif or with shellfish such as scallops and oysters, asparagus, salads, and tomato based dishes. Source: Jo Burzynska, New Zealand Herald
