Fruit for this wine is sourced from select sites across New Zealand all imprinting their own unique character. Riper parcels from Nelson and Waipara bring more tropical fruit aromatics, while those from Hawkes Bay bring a fresh herbal lift and juicy acidity. All these sites combine to deliver an expressive wine that is balanced, full of flavour, and a classic reflection of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

There’s no mistaking the surge of fresh tropical fruit aromas in the bouquet with passionfruit then lime, pineapple then red pears. Crisp, just dry, fruity at the core with a frame of acidity and crunch. Well made with a lengthy, persistent core of fruit flavours. Best drinking from 2025 through 2027. Price: from $19.99; Premium.
