MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator
One of the most impressive Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand is this single-vineyard planting. Unlike the vast majority of Kiwi Sauvignon Blancs, which hail from the Marlborough region at the northern tip of the South Island, Te Muna is located in Martinborough, at the southern tip of the North Island.
The region’s cool climate and intense winds have been optimal for producing muscular Pinot Noirs, yet it turns out these conditions are ideal for Sauvignon Blanc as well, with the grapes’ thick, wind-blown skins adding intensity to the wines.
Fresh and precise, with lime, mango and passion fruit notes that are accented by crunchy sea salt, litsea oil, dried chamomile and fresh lemon zest on a mouthwatering, fleshy frame.”
94 points - Bob Campbell, The Real Review
Green, grassy sauvignon with impressive concentration and a pleasingly rich texture. Like Marlborough sauvignon on steroids. Green capsicum, tomato leaf, saline/ oyster shell and restrained passionfruit flavours.
