83/100 35

Light, fresh Sauvignon Blanc with a pleasant aroma of lemon grass and green capsicum plus a suggestion of passion fruit. A suggestion of sweetness is cleverly balanced by reasonably soft acidity, producing a style that will be appreciated by those who find many Marlborough Sauvignons agressively acidic.

Tasted: Jul 2007   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $11 (~USD $8)
