I love this absolutely smashing wine. Elegant, balanced and wonderfully harmonious. Melon, baked apple, pineapple with lemon drizzle cake. Buttery hazelnuts, toast and caramelised banana.
Still medium bodied and very guzzleable. — 5 years ago

Sauv Blanc actually. Smells of baked golden apples, grapefruit, wood, and toast on the nose. Dried apples and candied lemon peel on the palate with notes of vanilla custard lingering on the finish. Goes well with most food. Slightly over-oaked in my opinion but a good value — 6 years ago

Notes of straw, grass and citrus. Balanced acidity. Brought this wine home to the states from the Shire in New Zealand. Beautiful wine. — 6 years ago
Very good stuff hiding under extreme reduction - the smell of eggs and sulfur that won’t give way without a fight. Give this time and you’ll find a beautifully assembled Chablis like mix of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Highly acidic and weighty from some neutral oak exposure. — 6 years ago

Aromas bounding out of the glass. Hay, fresh cut grass, grapefruit, and lemon rind. Sav Blanc on steroids. Fresh and tropical mouthfeel - lime zest, citrus and grassy flavors. Solid acidity, classic New Zealand. — 7 years ago
With Lizzy and Deanna. — 4 years ago
Pretty good for a Chardonnay - more sauv blanc like probably due to where it’s from. Light and crisp, not too fruity — 4 years ago
I would drink this every day. Floral delight. Orange wine technically. Perfect summer wine and my favorite of the Kindeli selection I’ve tried so far this vintage. — 6 years ago

French bubbling onion broth, with fungal asymmetry the partnering haberdasher’s cheese motif, and pictographs and hieroglyphic bubble letters the font-lacing. Caramel-orange and yeast with hibiscus and dried lotus slices. There is a peppermint coolness to the backnote and a clean, bok choy sweetness. Tastes of caramel and verdelho-Madeira, and lemon, orange and grapefruit interplay mutating into a cilantro and Vidalia, that ultimately return to the yeast, with marigold petals swimming in a malt and hop extravaganza. #mikkeller #nelsonsauvin #dryhopped #deproefbrouwerij #beer #bier #birra #biere #cerveza — 6 years ago

2023- Vintage- nice lime zest, goose berry, med+ acidity- nice change from the usual Marlborough NZ even though it’s not that far apart the style seems so different. — 3 months ago
