93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, camdouglasms.com

An excellent value wine with a bouquet of site, vintage, style and freshness. Classic core flavours of fresh red apple and cape gooseberry, a sweet fruit spice and citrus, some tropical fruit seams with a white pineapple and melon suggestions. Taut, crisp, fruity and dry with a natural fruit sweetness, backbone of acidity and balanced, rather lengthy finish.
Best drinking from day of purchase through 2030.

4 Stars Michael Cooper, michaelcooperwines.com

Very fresh and lively, bight, light lemon/green, it is a strongly varietal wine, with punchy, vibrant melon, passionfruit and green capsicum flavours, and a sliver of sweetness balanced by crisp acidity. Drink now-2027. Good value.

Vegan friendly

To make this wine, we haven't used classic fining agents such as fish, milk, or egg extracts and only minimal additives.

This means our Sauvignon Blanc is natural and vegan friendly.

The season

What an amazing growing season we’ve had! The vines loved the gentle spring rain and quickly produced a healthy, vibrantly green canopy. 

In December, our Nelson sun made for perfect flowering
and good pollination. 

Summer delivered long stretches of blue skies, punctuated by just enough rainfall to maintain soil moisture
and keep the vines thriving. 

A long, warm Indian summer then carried us through to harvest, allowing the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly. The grapes came in balanced, clean, and full of flavour – another great vintage!
