"Just wow. Perfumed, bold, expressive and very aromatically complex with ripe guava, white peach, lime skin and funky, gunflint 'sauvage' elements providing edge and intrigue. A rich dry, textural wine with salivating acidity providing both structure and freshness. Our top scoring Sauvignon after days of tasting for very good reason.’ 97 Points - Bennet & Hudson - WINERATER.CO.NZ

"Rich, textural sauvignon blanc with a funky-reductive influence, baguette crust, citrus, nectarine and rock melon characters. A complex wine." 95 Points - Bob Campbell MW, - THEREALREVIEW.COM

"This has a clever, complex nose, offering aromas of gunflint, herbs and lime peel with a grassy edge. The palate has a very textural and layered feel with rich peach and pear flavors that lead to a dry, satisfyingly long, tropical-laced finish." 94 Points - Nick Stock - JAMESSUCKLING.COM
