Mineral tension, poise and elongated shape are the hallmarks of this wine. The wine has a smell of fresh sheets, crisp, crushed shells, white spice and ocean air.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
The 2024 Otira Glacial Stones Sauvignon Blanc is just such a fantastic wine. I love it every year. Mineral tension, poise and elongated shape are the hallmarks of this wine. The wine has a smell of fresh sheets, crisp, crushed shells, white spice and ocean air. I appreciate the length and stretch of this wine—it fully extends and lingers, and there is a textural pulsing and undulation. It is truly excellent.
James Suckling: 96 Points
Very classy with a fragrant nose of ripe lemons, subtle elderflowers, hay and lime zest, accented by a touch of sea spray. The palate is crisp and razor-focused with a backbone of racy acidity and a firm, lightly phenolic structure. Extremely long and precise. From organically grown grapes.
Wine Enthusiast
There's a gentleness to this single site Sauvignon, from a top French-owned biodynamic estate. It's concentrated, flavorsome, but never forced or over-made. There's pronounced minerality—like stones, shells and fresh cut meadow crunching underfoot—and salted margarita vibes, with pineapple rind garnish. Bright, tangy acidity and herb-and-citrus flavors aren't shy on the palate, but they never shout their presence. Mouth-watering and textural enough to be food friendly; the mineral core anchors a ship of flavor.
Wine Spectator
Firm and juicy, with pear, crunchy star fruit and white peach flavors up front, plus details of orange blossoms, candied kumquat and fresh lemon on the long, mouthwatering finish.
