Crisp entry-level Sauvignon, with floral and citrus hints that dance on the palate. The zest provides a nice balance, preventing the wine from becoming overpowering. The crisp lasting impression is lively and fresh, making it a stonking pairing for Asian Fusion cuisine.

Nuanced character with accents of green apple, peach, and rich undertones, consistent by a zesty citrus profile of lime, apricot, and lemon.

What the web is saying

Te Mata Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc is praised for its vibrant citrus and tropical fruit flavors, with lime, passionfruit, and grapefruit being prominent. The wine is often described as crisp, refreshing, and well-balanced, with a lively finish. While some appreciate its floral and mineral notes, others find the lime and floral layers slightly detracting. It pairs well with seafood and Asian cuisine.

Voss Experts4.5

A luminous pale straw hue introduces this classic Hawke's Bay Sauvignon Blanc. The nose is an intricate bouquet of passionfruit, elderflower, and freshly cut grass, underscored by a subtle minerality. On the palate, the wine reveals a vibrant, zesty acidity that is impeccably balanced by a fleshy texture, offering flavors of ripe gooseberry and lime zest. The finish is crisp and enduring, with a whisper of saline that speaks to its coastal terroir. This wine exemplifies the region's hallmark precision and verve, making it a benchmark for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

We are 50+ wine professionals (sommeliers, buyers, MW candidates) across the US, UK, France, Greece, Italy, and beyond. We review wines via blind tastings with a standardized rubric, using both 100-point and 5-star scales.
