This crisply styled, refreshing wine has a wonderful combination of lime, passionfruit and gooseberry aromas with a hint of minerality – typical stylish Sauvignon Blanc! We love to drink it with seafood and pasta dishes and delicious summer salads. While this wine is ready to drink now, it can also be cellared for up to two years.
The fruit for this wine was grown in two Wairarapa vineyards with different soils, one on stony loam, the other a hillside clay. This variety helps to increase the complexity of the wine. The vines are relatively young and are cropped at low levels to give intensely flavoured grapes.
The focus in the winery is to capture the pure fruit flavours that come from the vineyard whilst adding complexity through our winemaking efforts to provide a multi-dimensional wine. This is achieved by tank fermenting the juice using yeasts that are able to ferment to low temperatures – preserving the essential fruit flavours.

"Fresh and beautifully aromatic, showing ripe peach, green rockmelon, lime peel and jasmine aromas, followed by a vibrant palate displaying bright fruit flavours with refreshing acidity. Upfront and flavoursome."
91 Point Rated, Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Pristine and delightfully aromatic with Granny Smith apple, nectarine, lemon peel and jasmine notes, it's juicy and flavoursome in the mouth delivering bright fruit intensity backed by crisp acidity, finishing long and mouth-watering. At its best: now 2026."
