(2023) From a cool year, much more into the asparagus and green bean character that might be familiar from Marlborough Sauvignon, with citrus and peach beneath. A racy style, tiny sherbetty note, tangy with loads of pithy grapefruit and relatively broad texture into a crisp and still quite well balanced finish. Bottled October 2013. pH 3.25 and acidity 6.7g/l. No UK retail stockists listed at time of review.

(2016) This is a powerful Wild Sauvignon, with both a beefy 14% alcohol and a thwack of oak that seems to slightly dominate both nose and palate. There is a huge core of herbaceous character, and a mineral intensity, making this a formidable and profound example that has such concentration and such deeply-etched aromas and flavours that it is just a little less approachable as a drink right now than some, but which is hugely impressive. It's a wine that will integrate and improve further.
