Te Muna Road Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Complex SB from NZ. Cucumber veggie notes with minerality such as flint etc — 3 months ago

Walnut Block Wines

Collectables Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

This is the reason I love Sauv Blancs from NZ - intense tropicality focused on passion fruit, grapefruit, citrus, and pear. Great with food and on its own. Will definitely be drinking again this summer. — 7 months ago

Ata Rangi

Martinborough Pinot Noir 2017

Terrific NZ Pinot, nice clean lines of fruit and acidity and has silky smooth tannins.
This has matured nicely since my last bottle three years ago.
Have another one which I’ll try at 10 years.

Jules Taylor

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Light, lemony and acidic. Very fresh and approachable. It's my first jump into NZ wines and I will definitely keep coming back to Jules Taylor wines. — 4 months ago

Babich Wines

Black Label Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with herb floral notes, classic NZ. On the palate flavors of zesty sour green apple fruit flavors and some grassy tones, lively acidity. The wine finished with fruit, sweet herbs, grassy and mineral notes. — 7 months ago

Loveblock

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

So silky and weighty for a NZ Sauv Blanc (clearly from the extra hangtime and the Semillon). Love the melange of pyrazines and tropical fruit on the nose with savory herbs and lemon pith on the finish. Finding it hard to put this glass down! — 4 years ago

Te Mata Estate

Bullnose Hawkes Bay Syrah 2018

Deep ruby with lighter rim and lovely floral and spiced nose.
Tannins are silky smooth and well integrated.
Dark fruits on palate with balance of alcohol and acidity, AbV at 13% much lower than typical Oz Shiraz @14.5%
At 8 years this is likely at its optimal drinking age
Excellent Syrah from NZ.

Auntsfield

Single Vineyard Southern Valleys Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Grassy, grapefruity. Plenty of vim. Reminds me of a Sonoma Cty Sauvignon blanc more than NZ. — 8 months ago

Clos Henri

Petit Clos Famille Bourgeois Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Citrus nose. Nice tartness. Definitely not your typical NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Much more balanced and a longer complex finish. Lime and apple with hints of salinity. — 3 years ago

I feel like you always say “not your typical NZ” whenever you really like it. Maybe you just don’t like typical NZ wine?
