Apple and pear flavors. Nice acidity and finish, pairs nicely with seafood. I drink a lot of NZ sauvignon blanc and very much enjoy this as a chage up.

Light golden color. Cut grass and lemons on the nose. Lemon and citrus on the front, great acidity on the mid and apples on the back end. VERY enjoyable. Drank with a Filet Mignon, braised carrots, string beans and fingerling potatoes. New Years Eve 2007 dinner at The Tomato Factory. Worked very well. Will finish the bottle on New Years Day.

This wine is wonderful! A nice explosion of lemon zest on the nose that is very pleasant. The taste certainly maintains the lemony essence, but also has nice sour apples on then palate and sort of a tropical fruit finish, It had a bit of fizz, but this didn't hurt anything. We paired the wine with a coconut and curry shrimp recipe that sort of tasted Thai-like and it seemed to work pretty well.

Apples on the nose. I didn't notice any pear, but I did detect what came across to me as a real subtle air of beach sand.

The taste was dominated by the strong apple. It's incredible and smooth. I really enjoyed this wine with the broiled tilapia that I had prepared.

Cant say much. This was a party wine opened for the family. Seemed to be well recieved, but nothing special.

Grapefruit, cut grass and pineapple nose. Clean, crisp taste with good acidity and reasonably long finish. Tart apple, pineapple and grapefruit on the palate.
