Tasting notes:

Punchy aromatics of lemon and lime citrus with undertones of juicy tropical fruits, fill the nose. Plush on the palate, showing juicy grapefruit freshness with lively acidity carrying these classical Waihopai Valley characters to a lengthy finish.

Mundus Vini Summer Tasting 2023 - Best of Show New Zealand

92 points, Cameron Douglas MS 2023
"A classic Ned style with a core of fleshy, fresh and salivating textures, flavours of sweet pink grapefruit and apple, then tropical fruit and fresh herb. There’s a delicious, light saline quality accentuating the acid line as the wine touches the palate, flavours of fresh red apple and citrus then a light touch of fresh green herbs and wet stony soil attributes. A balanced, well made wine with a natural plushness and juicy finish. Best drinking from 2023 through 2027."

90 points, The Real Review: Bob Campbell 2023 - Top Value
"Fleshy, textural sauvignon with green apple, gooseberry, oyster shell, lime juice and lemongrass flavours supported by lively acidity. Tangy wine with flavours that tend toward the greener end of the spectrum."
