This has an engaging nose that is not quite as assertive or pungent as something that comes from its more northerly Marlborough counterpart, just toned down a notch. This still has classic Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc notes of lemon/lime citrus, gooseberry, guava and passion fruit touched up with a light note of jalapeno aromatically. Juicy and crisp with clean assorted tropical fruit flavors, this has nice linear drive in the palate leading to a dry, long and lingering finish.
