From a coastal vineyard in Hawke's Bay, there's prettiness, even delicacy, to the lemongrass, salt and floral notes, with a toastier, richer underbelly to pad things out. Mid-weight, it's precise and focused with lovely tension and textural interest. Drink now—2032. ~94 Wine Enthusiast
Aged for eight months in French oak, this comes from coastal vineyards in Te Awanga, not far from the famous Kindnappers Cliff. A lemony, lightly oak-influenced style, there's a sheen of creamy oatmeal on the nose then that direct, fat lemony thrust of fruit. Mid-palate, there's a burgeoning sense of something more exotic about the fruit. Pink grapefruit asserts in the finish, for a stylish, fresh and delicious wine. ~ 93 Tom Cannavan
Mineral and white pepper with oyster shell aromas to the cooked apple and pear character. It’s medium-bodied with lovely phenolics and focus. Drink now. ~92 James Suckling
