Bursting from the gates, the ’25 sings in yellow guava, mango skin and elderflower. So too does its filigree of shiso, fennel bulb and dotted white flower. There is a white corn creaminess, echoes of tropical fruit and scintillating acidity. It’s wildly fragrant and well balanced, with some whipped meringue cream and that crisp crunch of fruit to finish. This has everything you want from a new-release Marlborough sauvignon blanc with pedigree.
Rated 93/100 James Halliday
Savory notes of litsea oil and honeycomb, along with sea salt minerality, mingle with fresh lime juice, peach, white grapefruit, pomelo, and fresh-clipped sage and oregano elements that add complexity and length. Drink now. 2,500 cases made, 1,200 cases imported.
