Nose: The wine opens with electric aromas of citrus and green apple, layered with elderflower, fresh herbs, and subtle pea pod notes. There’s a bright, almost piercing quality to the aromatics, typical of cool-climate Marlborough fruit, with hints of tropical passion fruit and gooseberry adding complexity.
Palate: Juicy and refreshing on the palate, with vibrant grapefruit and lime flavours balanced by white peach and a touch of bell pepper. The acidity is pronounced but well-integrated, giving the wine a lively, mouthwatering quality without harshness. The texture is plush yet crisp, with excellent fruit concentration.
Finish: Clean and persistent, with lingering citrus and mineral notes that reflect the terroir of the Waihopai River valley. The 2023 vintage earned 91 points from Wine Spectator, underlining the consistent quality of this label.
Pair this wine with goat’s cheese and asparagus tart, fresh oysters, or pan-seared snapper with lemon and herbs. Serve well-chilled at 8-10°C in a white wine glass to preserve its aromatic lift. A superb choice for casual entertaining, weeknight dinners, or as a thoughtful gift for lovers of classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
