Reviews
Hero Sauvignon Blanc, Dish Magazine Dec 2021
Each vintage of this wine is an instant hit, packed with limes, melon, juicy citrus and lemongrass and sweet pea punch. They're beautifully balanced, with great tension, power and texture.

This wine has some serious pedigree and it’s not only one of Nelson’s finest examples, it’s also one of the greatest $20 sauvignon blancs in the country. I say this because it’s so powerfully aromatic, with lemongrass, lime zest, sweet pea and tropical intensity on the nose and palate. The acid/alcohol/fruit sweetness balance is expertly handled, the textures are generous and juicy and the finish is long and persistent.
