"The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is chalky and grassy, with beeswax, pressed flower, juniper, wind anemone and white pepper. I love the dried hay character here; it makes for a clothy, textural wine of presence and detail. The vines were planted from 1987 to 1993 on own roots and were unirrigated, biodynamically farmed and low-yielding. The wine spent three months on the primary lees, with 50% in barrel (neutral oak) and the balance in tank. It is unsulfured, with no additions or adjustments to the must. 13% alcohol, sealed under Diam." - 95 Points, Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
"An intriguing nose with sweet aromas of heather and pea pod lifted above manuka honey and progressively deeper, lees-enriched, savoury layers of baking spice and pastry before a bass note of oyster shell emerges. The palate is equally complex, though the mineral and manuka are at the fore, tapering down to a pithy, long and concentrated grapefruit and white peach flavours before the honeyed and butterscotch notes reassert themselves on the chalky, dry finish. A symphony of a wine which trascends the variety." - 94 Points, Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review
