Light yellow-green with a fresh lifted gooseberry and feijoa bouquet that is bright and intense and very typical of the grape and region. Intense fruit with a penetrating quality and lingering length. Clean, dry finish...

MW Bob Campbell, January 2024

Intense and quite aromatic wine with capsicum, guava, gooseberry, mineral, and citrus flavours. A powerful example of the Marlborough style.

Wine Spectator, July 2024

Aromatic, stylish and distinctive, with honeysuckle, quince, citron and fresh ginger notes on a sleek and mouthwatering frame. Accents of lemon thyme and apple skin linger on the refreshing finish. Drink now. — M.W.
