Auntsfield<br />

Single Vineyard<br />

Marlborough <strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong><br />

Simon Nash: Pale bright,<br />

fresh juicy, mix lifted,<br />

pithy grapefruit, clean<br />

very youthful, crisp,<br />

citrus, lime, very pure,<br />

enough complexity.<br />

Matt Kirby: Sea spray<br />

and ripe notes of fennel,<br />

guava and lychee. Palate<br />

long, a richness and<br />

sweetness but shows<br />

balance.<br />

Barry Riwai: Fennel,<br />

lime, some with a touch<br />

of tropical passionfruit.<br />

Mango, full weighty<br />

palate. Persistent back<br />

palate. Some thiol but<br />

gives length.<br />

Toitoi<br />

Sauvignon Blanc<br />

Marlborough <strong><strong>20</strong>19</strong><br />

Simon Nash: Very pale, light<br />

bright. Light lemon also some<br />

chalky notes. Nicely balanced. Soft<br />

edge but good mid-palate, lime juice.<br />

Matt Kirby: Very aromatic of passionfruit and guava.<br />

Concentrated palate with powerful fruit and balance.<br />

Barry Riwai: Mango, pineapple, touch of navel orange. Fuller<br />

riper style. Good weight with a bit of warmth. Passionfruit<br />

flavours with acidity tighten the finish.<br />
