TASTING NOTE: A truly Marlborough style sauvignon blanc that comprises a blend of fruit from the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. Quite concentrated grapefruit, guava and subtle passionfruit flavours supported by fruity acidity. Good weight and texture. Drink 2017 to 2020. Ranked #45 of 140 in Bob Campbell's Top 2017 Sauvignon Blanc. Score - 92 (Bob Campbell, MW, bobcampbell.nz, Oct. 27, 2017) |
