"18/20 pts ... From one of the pioneering estates of Martinborough. Pithy, ripe nose with a rounded, harmonious palate. Beautifully balanced." --05/11

Winemaker's Notes
"A vibrant, textural, food-friendly style of sauvignon blanc thanks to Martinborough's naturally low yields, hand-picked, hand-sorted fruit, partial barrel ferment and extended contact with yeast lees in both tank and barrel. Refined aromas and flavours of passionfruit and lemongrass align with hints of honeysuckle, gooseberry and ruby grapefruit to provide a mouth-filling medley of drinking pleasure. This wine is all class; rich and finely balanced, with great length on the palate. As wine-writer Tyson Stelzer notes “Helen Masters’ ideal sauvignon is neither herbaceous nor tropical, but strikes a balance in between.” "
