An extraordinary Sauvignon Blanc, and so clean. If you like your Marlboroughs, you’ll love the dry gooseberry, hay and lime zest flavors, with their edges of white pepper and smoke. Possesses real complexity in the penetratingly crisp acids and long finish.

Out of the ordinary, with intense aromas of petrol, smoke, roasted corn and musky citrus. In many ways it does not seem Californian in that it isn’t a pure, polished wine. Instead, it offers herbal notes, cured-meat flavors and funky spice. Finishes a touch stark and acidic.
