Offering impressive fruit purity and power, it's instantly appealing with green rockmelon, passionfruit, kiwifruit and kaffir lime notes on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate delivering excellent weight and juicy fruit intensity. Wonderfully fruited and hugely appealing.

Bright, pale yellow, even colour throughout. The nose is softly full and lifted, nuances of lime, fresh-cut herbs, melded with gooseberries, guava and white spice. Medium-light bodied, aromas of guava, lime, mango layers entwined white spice and cut herbs. The flavours have intensity and depth, support by well-balanced lively acidity. Fine-textured, chalky phenolic carry a hint of sea salt linger to linearity. This is a refined Sauvignon Blanc with well-defined layers of tropical fruit, herbs and spices. Match with sweet & sour fish and steamed mussels over the next 3-4 years. The fruit was sourced from the Dillons Point and Wairau sub-regions, cool-fermented to 13.5% alc.

Full-bodied, almost luscious sauvignon blanc with passionfruit, guava, struck-flint, melon and lime flavours supported by fruity acidity and fine, peppery tannins.

Succulent, rich and intense, featuring apricot, dried pineapple and Key lime pie flavors, with a hint of dried herb and sea salt lingering on the finish, where the intensity gains momentum. (MW)
