Tasting Panel, 91 Points 

"A heady perfume of salted lime, basil, dill, and star fruit is dazzling. Just-ripened pineapple makes a vivid first impression, followed by green garden herbs and a line of crushed stone. Crisp and clean." 

Wine & Spirits, 91 Points 

"This sauvignon blanc bleeds white peach, white cherry and passion fruit from its tart, edgy generosity. For roast halibut or other rich fish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"It all starts in their Estate Marlborough vineyards, in the region famous for introducing elegant, cool climate New Zealand wines to the world. Marlborough’s warm days and cool nights create an extended growing season allowing the grapes to develop beautiful acidity which balances the intense varietal characteristics of ripe grapefruit, white nectarine, and tropical fruits resulting in an elegant, refreshing, crisp flavorsome wine that distinctly says Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc."
