95 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

A wonderful rendition, the inviting bouquet shows kiwifruit, green rockmelon, kaffir lime, and jasmine aromas, followed by a splendidly expressive palate filled with juicy fruit flavours. It's punchy and powerful with excellent balance and structure, offering fabulous drinking.

The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is punchy and creamy on the nose. In fact, it is wholly inviting, and the combination of attributes here is a common one for premium Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. This wine was sent to me as part of the 2025 Appellation Marlborough Wine (AMW) Collection, which annually features 12 cuveés that top the tasting submitted for the show, held in Blenheim each year. I have judged on the panel for this award (in 2022, from memory), and the process and the results are worth taking note of. On the palate, this is crunchy and fresh, laden with passion fruit, green pea, green apple and briny acidity that courses throughout. This is very good. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Shanteh Wale - Halliday Wine Companion

The fruit sits in the golden and tropical spectrum with mango skin, grapefruit and golden kiwi. Elderflower and lime cordial. No hint of herb, but this has a white pepper and salt spray salinity. This wine is consistently fresh and lively, with a great balance of flavours, texture and upbeat acidity. Very good value.

James Suckling

Lively and detailed, showing lemons, limes and crushed herbs mixed with chalky minerality. Medium-bodied and compact with vibrant acidity and a precise, lingering finish. Focused and well made. Vegan. Sustainable.

Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous

The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is dry with glacial purity and crisp expression. It's light on its feet with a lively edge. Erring on the greener side of the variety's range rather than the flamboyant, tropical side, this displays elderflower, lemon and just-ripe pineapple. Not the most concentrated Nautilus Sauvignon, the 2025 is a little fleeting.
