I'm always underwhelmed by this wine. I much prefer every other NZ Sauvignon Blanc I've ever tried. I know it has an excellent reputation and I buy it when it's on sale and I don't see a known better option on the shelf, but I think this is the last time I fall for it. Just no personality in the bottle. I miss the herbaceous flavor I find in other NZ wines.

Very very good, very dry. Less tart than the monkey bay

I bought this at a gas station and I’m lowkey surprised and impressed??? Semi sweet (3/10 sweet) and lemongrass & citrus notes.

Lime zest, guava, passionfruit - highly aromatic. Finish is a little rough, bitter like citrus pith.

Very light, crisp, and more like white grape juice than wine. Not for me.
