Ruby grapefruit, pineapple slices and lily followed by celery and fresh nettles. Medium-bodied, mouthwatering vivid acidity. Vibrant and refreshing.

From a single 33-year-old vineyard in the Wairau, this strikes a fine balance between pungent green-veg aromas like bell pepper and snap pea, and fruitier ones like passion fruit, white grapefruit and lime. It's prickly and vibrant, with lovely texture and an acidity that makes the mouth water, leaving you craving another sip. (CP)

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Heritage Vineyard is round and mouthfilling with flesh and texture (15% wild ferment in oak), through the palate. Attractively scented, there's an almost mojito-like character to this wine with its fresh mint aromas alongside fresh fruit including pineapple and florals. Balanced and refreshing. (RG)
