Fabulously aromatic with elegant complexity, the bouquet shows apricot, green rockmelon, lime peel and oatmeal characters, followed by a wonderfully flavoursome palate delivering terrific fruit power backed by fine texture and vibrant acidity. Mouthfilling and lively, offering splendid drinking. Certified organic.

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

A classy North Canterbury sauvignon blanc that shows tones of gooseberry, citrus, pineapple and apple with hints of crème fraîche, vanilla bean, meadow wildflowers, dried herbs, soft spice and curd. The barrel-ferment components are bang on here, tuned perfectly to the fruit, and the wine finishes creamy, textural and detailed with an undeniable inherent drinkability. Just fantastic drinking.

Sophisticated, textured and restrained, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is organically grown. That care continues in the winery. There are rich aromas of pineapple, red apple and lemon curd with supple layers of interest. It’s round, soft and creamy in texture thanks to being grown on clay subsoil, as well as partial malolactic conversion and maturation in French oak on lees. This is a pared back, carefully thought-out wine that reminds me a little of a good Sancerre – long and satisfying.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc has all the stats we love to see in premium wine: certified organic, Loire clones (376, 530, MS), wild fermented, six months élevage in French oak, partial malolactic fermentation, grown on silt loam over clay. It's not the usual recipe, but an exciting one. On the nose, the wine is hesitant, restrained and quiet. In the mouth, this is angular and powerful, stacked with kiwi fruit and pink grapefruit, white pepper, shaved fennel and a hint of cassis and juniper. It is concentrated, but the texture of it keeps the flavors in check. This is a smart wine. It has the courage to be savory and a little floral at the same time. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
