<p><b>93 points</b> - Medium light gold. Hints of straw and musk. Fresh and vibrant palate, with an excellent balance. The acidity is just enough to lift the typically grassy sauvignon characters to a different level. There’s a suggestion of malolactic fermentation with some oatmeal like lees notes too which adds an extra textural dimension. Surprisingly good! Persistent, clean and very well made.</p><p>Tasted on Fri, May 4, 2018.</p>

<p><b>90 points</b> - Light yellow. Some reductive aromas on the nose, grassy, gooseberry, hay. Bright and fresh on the palate, some grassy notes follow through. Intense and driving. A vibrant style, excellent with chargrilled prawns.</p><p>Tasted on Sat, Sep 23, 2017.</p>
