"One of New Zealand's greatest Sauvignon Blancs, from an exceptional terroir!"
"Typical aromas of guava, grass and gunflint with some green melon. Medium-bodied, with solid fruit density and a lovely light color and acidity. Very well made for this vintage. Drink or cellar. (James Suckling 2024) - Screw cap
