A very acceptable blanc, although a tiny bit too tangy for me. Clean and light.

This sauvignon blanc has that unmistakeably New Zealand style--bright lemon and grapefruit, fresh and crisp. Drinks very well on it's own and would pair well with light seafood or pasta dishes.

Very easy drinking, crisp and clear. Drunk mostly alone, but also with some chicken and shrimp, both of which worked nicely with the wine. Tasted a bit of pear. Mild bouquet.

I had a chance to visit Torlesse Wines in Waipara a few years ago. It certainly was one of my favorite wines while visiting New Zealand.
We brought a few bottles of 2006 Sauvignon Blanc home and just recently found one in the cellar. It was magic revisiting our trip.
