The tropical fruit notes really jump out of the glass from the first sip—it's like drinking a summer afternoon. I served it slightly chilled last weekend and everyone asked what it was.

The finish is clean and refreshing, not too sharp, which makes it easy to drink on its own. I opened a bottle with a simple seafood dinner and it was a perfect match for the briny notes.

That burst of ripe tropical fruit on the nose is exactly what I look for in a good New Zealand sauvignon blanc, and it pairs beautifully with a simple goat cheese salad. The finish is clean and refreshing without being too sharp.
