Wine Critic Review: "This light straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from Whitehaven opens with a very nice aromatic citrus bouquet with notes grapefruit and quince with a hint of green apple. The medium body is crisp, clean, and dry with integrated acidity. The flavor profile is a blend of lemon, lime, tangerine, guava, and green apple with notes of saline. The dry and slightly tart finish lingers and fades away nicely. I would recommend pairing this New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with Vietnamese spring rolls." – Joe (member of the Ken's Wine Guide review team)
Wine Folly: pg 165: This wine has a unique taste, with strong herbaceous flavors derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines. Has hints of gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passionfruit.
My Review: This wine had a very floral smell to it, with a peach aroma following it. The peach returned with tasting it, as well as a late hint of cantaloupe that I caught right at the end of tasting this wine. Weirdly enough, I actually thought the wine was relatively sweet, and not dry as it is made out to be.
Would I Buy Again?: Definitely not. I didn't hate the wine (feel like I won't ever hate a wine), but I certainly didn't enjoy it enough to buy again.
