A fresh and zippy white, offering a vibrant mouthful of green papaya, passion fruit and Key lime flavors that are generous and concentrated on a smooth and mouthwatering frame. Hints of green tea, lemongrass and pink peppercorn add more dimensions on the long, expressive finish.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2024 Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc is excellent. It is crunchy, green, piercingly intense, leafy/herbal, maritime and enduring through the finish. This is a magnificent Sauvignon Blanc—distinct and packed with personality. Perhaps it is possible to overlook the phenolics through the finish in favor of the fruit, which is so concentrated and impressive; but it would be an oversight steeped in error, as the wine has a chalky balance and draw that tempers the fruit power. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
James Suckling
A very refined and focused sauvignon blanc with sliced green melon and cinnamon. Medium-bodied, it has creamy texture and a delicious finish with just the right amount of flint undertone.
