Vinification
"The fruit was machine harvested in cool evening conditions, de-stemmed and lightly pressed with minimal skin contact. Clear, cold-settled juice was fermented in stainless steel vats at low temperatures, using neutral wine yeast strains to allow the powerful fruit flavours to dominate"
Occasional wine note
This one is full great tropical fruit flavors and aromas with subtle hints of spice and salinity. Great value NZ Sauv Blanc. No wonder it's a Wine Spectator Top 100 for 2023!

Wine Spectator
This stunning version is fresh and vibrant yet also complex and full of flavor, from toasted green tea and lemon thyme to mouth watering passion fruit, yuzu and mango. Ends with hints of white pepper, lemon blossoms and sea salt on the long, expressive finish.

James Suckling
Aromas of fresh peaches, sliced mangoes and jasmine. Medium-bodied with silky texture. Bright and succulent with fresh tropical and stone fruit at the core. Subtle spice at the finish.
