MAGAZINE<br />
Hello Sailor Sassy<br />
Marlborough<br />
Sauvignon Blanc 20<strong>18</strong><br />
$<strong>18</strong>.99 Simon Nash: A bit chalky, then<br />
armpit sweaty. Dry, good acids. Quite<br />
lean style.<br />
Matt Kirby: Very restrained aromatic.<br />
Orange zest, white flower. Nice balance,<br />
good summer wine.<br />
Barry Riwai: Citrus, zesty lemon<br />
and lime, blossom, gardenia. Good<br />
concentration, interesting structure.<br />
Classic Marlborough.<br />
Old Coach Road Nelson<br />
Sauvignon Blanc 20<strong>18</strong><br />
Simon Nash: Full colour, quite<br />
weighty, full spicy, cinnamon, sweaty.<br />
Nice spicy, zesty balance on the<br />
palate. Good citrus fruit, lively acids.<br />
Good long finish.<br />
Matt Kirby: Aromatic looks somewhat<br />
botrytis-affected. Palate is rich and full.<br />
Apricots and white pearl?<br />
Barry Riwai: Stonefruits, crunchy<br />
nectarine, white fleshed peach. Medium<br />
carry. Clean and correct.<br />
$13<br />
Zephyr Marlborough<br />
Sauvignon Blanc 20<strong>18</strong><br />
$22.99<br />
Simon Nash: Dry, crisp lemon, citrus<br />
zest. Good weight, quite dry style.<br />
Chalky, lacks mid-palate fullness and<br />
extra dimension.<br />
Matt Kirby: Slight reduction but<br />
works with style. Salty, tropical lychee<br />
aromatic. Lovely balance.<br />
Barry Riwai: Lime, green melon, some<br />
grapefruit too. Warming palate, full,<br />
broad, possibly losing some focus/line<br />
of acidity.<br />
Waimea Nelson<br />
Sauvignon Blanc 20<strong>18</strong><br />
Simon Nash: Chalky, mineral, quite<br />
dusty nose. Zest on the palate. Lime,<br />
dry, upfront, almost a tad spritzy.<br />
Quite short.<br />
Matt Kirby: Slight green aromatic,<br />
some lychee, passionfruit notes. Palate<br />
has good power, maybe slightly high<br />
residual sugar, but well played.<br />
Barry Riwai: Snow pea. Cooler, greener<br />
expression. Old school sauvignon blanc.<br />
Loads of bean sprout and capsicum;<br />
would work with the right food. Good<br />
concentration and length.<br />
$16.99<br />
