Professional Reviews & Awards
5 Stars
By Peter SaundersAlready a bold, chunky Nelson style Sauvignon, fresh of course but showing that little extra body that Nelson achieves with some clearly ripe, alive Brightwater fruit. A bold, mouth-filling style for Sauvignon and will be welcomed, especially when fresh. The body and style of this wine will carry it into 2026 and will likely be a fine glass thereafter.
