Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"This wine was created to redefine the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc style. A real crowd pleaser, it is loved for its juicy, ripe flavours and restrained acidity. Each glass is brimming with succulent flavours of passionfruit, tropical fruit and crushed black currant leaf. The fruit flavour is balanced with crisp acidity and a distinct salty minerality, which combine to create a mouth-watering finish."
5 Stars & 96/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2021 (2021 Vintage)
"Offering impressive fruit purity and power, it's instantly appealing with green rockmelon, passionfruit, kiwifruit and kaffir lime notes on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate delivering excellent weight and juicy fruit intensity. Wonderfully fruited and hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2025."
4 Stars Michael Cooper (2021 Vintage)
"Offering good value, the 2021 vintage was grown at sites in the Wairau Valley, including Dillons Point. Pale lemon/green, it is freshly aromatic and full-bodied, with tropical fruit and herbaceous flavours, strong, lively and crisp. Delicious young."
