Melanie Brown

Tasting: New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc

Pungent asparagus with ripe citrus. Weighty acidity complements flinty minerality, long finish.

Roger Jones

Tasting: New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc

Buttercups on the nose, textured on the palate with some pleasant creaminess with the soft citric fruit. Softens on palate with a delicate lychee and pink grapefruit.

Peter McCombie

Tasting: New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc

Herbal, relatively restrained. Leafy, tobacco and tomato, decent length.
