"Bright, pale straw-yellow with a green sheen, youthful, even colour throughout. The nose is voluminous, filled the glass with gunflint, smoke, toast and brown butter, entwined with an amalgam of spice, underlying tropical fruit and nettle. Medium-full bodied, complex aromas have integrated, a bright pineapple core melded with mango, dried apple, along with spice, unfolding gunflint, brown butter, toast and a hint of cashew, linger with smoke to a very long, flavoursome finish. The palate is mouth-filling and complex with an unctuous mouthfeel, supported by integrated acidity. The spice development added positive interest and lifted the palate, unveiling ginger, cumin spice, very intriguing. This complex, developed, and harmonious Sauvignon Blanc shows lots of youth, with strength, power, and grace. Match with roasted guinea fowl and hazelnut crusted halibut over the next 5-8 years" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, Dec 2021

"A concentrated and intense expression of Marlborough sauvignon with bright citrus and lighter tropical fruit aromas neatly framed in more savoury, nutty and stony elements. The concentration on the palate is impressive, as is the assertive, gently textural kick on the finish. Holds long" James Suckling, Sep 2018

Bright, even straw-yellow colour with slight green hues. The nose is very fresh with vibrant and concentrated aromas of thirst-quenching white stone fruits, herbs and gooseberries, along with complex tropical fruit detail. Mouthwatering, crisp acidity wraps notes of rich stone fruit, herbs, gooseberry and florals. A long, dry finish.
