Winery review: This aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.

My
review: I’ve loved every single
Sauvignon Blanc I’ve had from New Zealand…until this one. The wine tasting guy
said the same thing—this one just tastes off. I should have liked this wine. I picked up on the notes of thyme,
which is a spice I’m totally into. I just couldn’t get my head around this wine
and didn’t really enjoy it. It was vaguely fruity but the spice notes and the
little bit of stone (I can finally pick out some mineral things!!) just didn’t
mesh well. I wouldn’t drink this again.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
