"A crisp and complex sauvignon with more of a Loire vibe with sliced lemon, pear, light grass, and herb character in both the nose and palate. Medium body. Crisp and clean." James Suckling

94 Points - Cam Douglas MS

"A powerful and pungent bouquet bursting with aromas of fresh peach and gooseberry, lime-flower, lemon and apple. The herbaceous layer releases aromas of fresh and dried basil then some elderflower and lemon peel. All these scents turn into flavours reflecting the bouquet an enhanced with a back bone of acidity, there’s a whisper of savoury spice and a youthful fresh energy. Well made and drinking well from 2023 through 2030." Cam Douglas
 

The awards just keep rolling in! AWATERE VALLEY SINGLE VINEYARD SAUVIGNON BLANC

Concentrated, textural sauvignon blanc with guava, citrus, grapefruit, green capsicum, tomato leaf and a suggestion of struck flint flavour. A complex, satisfying wine that deserves its flagship status. 

Classic gooseberry, currant and grapefruit, with complexing wet rock and nettle notes, typical of the Awatere Valley sub-region.

This is a medium-bodied wine with bright, fresh acidity balancing the vibrant gooseberry and pure mineral flavours.  These persist on the lengthy, crisp finish.

 Summer salads, poultry and shellfish - particularly suited to oysters or green shell mussels - as well as lobster and white fish. Our ‘Greg’ Sauvignon Blanc is also the perfect aperitif.
