86/100 45

Made from grapes grown in the Ure Valley about 40 Km south of Blenheim. A gentle and slightly herbal wine that’s similar to the Awatere style. Delicate and appealing flavours but slightly too much residual sugar for my liking.

Tasted: Sep 2007   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $27 (~USD $23)
