Grove Mill, Sauvignon Blanc, Wairau Valley, 2016

MB: This has an intriguing character, full of weight and texture, thanks in part to its oak ageing and wonderful alignment of savoury and enticing fruit characters. Pulled together effortlessly creating a wonderful wine. BC: This is an intense, pure and appealing Sauvignon with lime, citrus, gooseberry and a subtle, nutty lees character supported by lovely acidity. Reminiscent of a very good Sancerre in style and elegance. CD: This wine has everything; wild ferment characters, lees, mineral, some sulphides, and lovely pristine fruit flavours. It's layered and wild, lengthy and lively.
