This is terrific; its fabulously aromatic on the nose showing feijoa, kiwifruit, kaffir lime and nectarine aromas, followed by a wonderfully flavoursome palate offering excellent varietal purity and persistency. Classically expressed and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2025. March 2022.

"Youthful, vibrant, powerful and classic bouquet with aromas of banana passionfruit and fresh green herbs, lemon and grapefruit, apple and gooseberry. Steely, youthful and enticing. Crisp, dry, crunchy and fruity on the palate with a tense acid line contrasted by a core of fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet, apple and lemon, gooseberry and tropical fruits. Plenty of time ahead for bottle development, but quite perfect already for fresh seafood and oysters. A lovely example with best drinking from late 2022 through 2027".

5 stars - Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
"Bright, even, very pale straw- yellow. The nose is softly full and distinctive, with aromas of gooseberries, guava and currants underlined lime, entwined with elderflower and a subtle hint of white spice. Medium-bodied, deep aromas of gooseberries, white currants, guava melded with lime and its zest; elderflower adorned; white spice lingers with chalky minerals and salinity. Taut acidity provides good energy to the concentrated fruit, which shows weight, depth and a complex range of flavours. Fine-textured chalky minerals extend a silken texture to an elegant palate. This vibrant yet serious Sauvignon Blanc shows style and quality fruit in a pure, refined expression and a dusty, long finish. Match with lemon sole and shellfish over the next 3-5 years. 95 points"
