Tasting Notes

There seems to be something hovering between steeliness and something metallic on the nose here. It's certainly determined not to be aggressively, pungently fruity on the nose. Very broad fruit on the palate – very winning – with lots of acidity. So much that I'd prefer to wait a month or two before drinking this. Great precision on the palate and a notably dry finish. 2019 - 2021

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, December 2018

The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc shows restrained aromas of fig and melon on the nose, followed by ripe notes of nectarine on the palate. It's medium to full-bodied and richly textured, with a long, silky finish. It may age a bit better than some other classic Marlborough Sauvignons, but don't hold it beyond about 2021. 2019 - 2021
