The colour was a light-medium greenish straw yellow. The bouquet showed crisp tropical and pineapple fruit. This wine had a light stalky oak start, tropical fruit, and a crisp dry finish. This was quite a complex style, but was not as intense as a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc would be expected to be.

Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
