"Very pale yellow. Explosive aromas of passion fruit, grapefruit, lemon peel and lime zest jump out of the glass, followed by hints of Thai basil and thyme. This in-your-face drop captures the essence of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Ripe, exuberant citrus and passion fruit flavors combine with a lick of wet stones. The palate is dry, complex, and powerful, giving way to a concentrated, lip-smacking finish." —winemaker

"Our single vineyard wine is genuinely aromatic, with focused minerality, balanced by fruit ripeness, intensity and great breadth and texture. Add a delicacy and elegance born of the locality, and the result is a wine full of complexity, genuinely resulting from the vineyard location in Blind River rather than prescriptive winemaking techniques. Showing super freshness, juicy acidity and a tactile phenolic profile in its youth, it will, as usual, get even better as the wine integrates." —winemaker

"Lifted floral notes, with hints of citrus fruits. Distinctive flavors of passionfruit and lime intermingled with layers of minerality, finishing with a fresh mouth-watering acidity." —winemaker

"Our 14th vintage of Sauvignon Blanc – previously awarded the World’s Best Sauvignon Blanc Trophy (IWSC Asia), and consistently awarded 90+ points, this wine is vibrant aromas of limes and ripe rockmelon with a hint of Feijoa. The palate is round and full with wonderfully balanced acidity and a moreish finish." —winemaker

"Fresh, zesty, juicy and full, this fruit-driven new world style wine will excite the senses without the racy overload. Tropical fruit with a fresh herbaceous character balanced with zesty passionfruit and a dry finish. A crisp refreshing wine that shows the true terroir characters of the soils and area it comes from." —winemaker

"The nose is expansive, complex and elegant. Guava, orange blossom and lime zest combine to give a lifted yet refined aromatic experience. The wine begins broadly in the palate, seeking all available tastebuds, and then expands further with notes of passionfruit, ripe pepper and candied lemon rind throughout the mouthfeel. Texturally, the wine is full-bodied, accompanied by sublime acidity that counterpoints the abundance of complex flavors." —winemaker

"The nose offers an intense “fruit basket” dominated by citrus scents with a note of blackcurrant bud. In the mouth, all is suppleness and elegance. The final spicy note emphasizes the freshness and the generous length of this Sauvignon." —winemaker

"Aromas of citrus zest, grapefruit, passionfruit and lemongrass. On the palate, ripe lemon and lime, green apple, and pineapple. Fresh, crisp and vibrant acidity." —winemaker
