Description
Both a critical darling and a blockbuster success, this sets the benchmark for New Zealand's intensely flavourful style of Sauvignon Blanc: think gooseberry, pea pods and passion fruit. Vivid and refreshing, it pairs with steamed clams or mussels with asparagus risotto, or grilled chicken.

Tasting Notes
This ever popular NZ sauvignon delivers well in the 2012 vintage with its forceful grassy herbal aromas with lime and green apple underneath. It's crisper and greener than the 2011 and is well balanced with a creamy palate and very good length. Try with mildly flavoured seafood or herbed chicken. Score - 88.
