Nutty yeast lees characters add a nice foil to the grassy, green capsicum and passion fruit flavours of this Awatere Valley wine. An impressive texture, density and balance. Sophisticated Sauvignon offering more than pungent fruit and tangy acidity.

Tasted: Nov 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $28 (~USD $21)
