Verdensklasse sauvignon blanc i klassisk Marlborough stil.

94 points 5 stars - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 
This is terrific; it's fabulously aromatic on the nose showing feijoa, kiwifruit, kaffir lime and nectarine aromas, followed by a wonderfully flavoursome palate offering excellent varietal purity and persistency. Classically expressed and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2025. March 2022. 94 points 5 stars

93 points 4.5 stars - Bob Campbell MW - 
Reasonably punchy sauvignon blanc, with classic passionfruit, capsicum, gooseberry and guava flavours supported by ripe, restrained acidity that gives a pleasantly dry and lengthy finish. A charming wine 93 points 4.5 stars 

93 points Excellent - Cameron Douglas MS
Youthful, vibrant, powerful and classic bouquet with aromas of banana passionfruit and fresh green herbs, lemon and grapefruit, apple and gooseberry. Steely, youthful and enticing. Crisp, dry, crunchy and fruity on the palate with a tense acid line contrasted by a core of fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet, apple and lemon, gooseberry and tropical fruits. Plenty of time ahead for bottle development, but quite perfect already for fresh seafood and oysters. A lovely example with best drinking from late 2022 through 2027. 93 points Excellent 

95 points 5 stars - Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews 
Bright, even, very pale straw-yellow. The nose is softly full and distinctive, with aromas of gooseberries, guava and currants underlined lime, entwined with elderflower and a subtle hint of white spice. Medium-bodied, deep aromas of gooseberries, white currants, guava melded with lime and its zest; elderflower adorned; white spice lingers with chalky minerals and salinity. Taut acidity provides good energy to the concentrated fruit, which shows weight, depth and a complex range of flavours. Fine-textured chalky minerals extend a silken texture to an elegant palate. This vibrant yet serious Sauvignon Blanc shows style and quality fruit in a pure, refined expression and a dusty, long finish. Match with lemon sole and shellfish over the next 3-5 years. 95 points 5 stars

Clark Estate "Upper Awatere" 2020 er ærkeklassisk sauvignon blanc med let reduktiv næse af hyldeblomst og nyklippet græs. Munden er sprød og læskende med fin syre. Det hele i fin afdæmpet stil og ikke så "hysterisk" som NZ sauvignon kan være.

Skøn Riesling med en utrolig flot intens og aromatisk profil

93 points / 5 stars – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

The wine is delightfully restrained and elegantly lifted on the nose showing orange peel, lemon/lime zest, apple and white floral characters, followed by a juicy palate that is finely textured with subtle sweetness. The wine offers bright acidity and refreshing mouthfeel, finishing long and vibrant. Style: Medium-dry. At its best: now to 2024.

90 points / 4 stars – Bob Campbell MW

Taut and tangy riesling with honey, lime, oyster shell, mineral and a suggestion of apricot. Some botrytis influence with a slight musky note and good sweet-and-sour tension.

91 points 4 stars – NZ Wine Rater:

Steve Bennett MW & Lynnette Hudson Quite developed straw hue with golden tinges. An appealing, voluminous, complex and perfumed bouquet with pronounced beeswax, clover-honey, candied apple and mandarin aromas. Luscious, rich, full bodied style with a creamy texture and just about enough lemony acid freshness to hold in balance.

4 stars – Michael Cooper, Winestate

Delicious young, this attractively scented wine was grown in the upper Awatere Valley. Pale straw, it is fresh, medium-bodied and crisp, with a gentle splash of sweetness and generous, ripe, peachy flavours, showing good vigour and length. Balanced for easy drinking, it should also reward cellaring.

Skøn Pinot Gris der bedst nyeds i store mundfulde og i godt selskab.

Delightfully ripe and inviting, showing yellow peach, Nashi pear and lemon peel characters on the nose. The palate displays lovely focus and persistency with silky texture and refreshing acidity, making it fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2023. 90 points Premium – Cameron Douglas MS Varietal and classic with distinctive aromas and flavours of brown pair, Asian pear, a touch of sherbet and mild lees autolysis. Medium+ acidity and weight, just dry with a fleshy textured palate. The finish suggests honeysuckle white spice and Asian pear flavours. Balanced and well-made, ready to enjoy from today and through 2022.

Clear, straw-yellow with a gold hue, even colour throughout. The nose is full, a concentrated core aroma of pear, melon, baked apple, entwined with the floral scent of lilies and discreet fivespice. Medium-full bodied, the palate is lush with good intensity aromas of ripe pear, baked apple and melon. The palate has weight and power, enriched by subtle sweetness and lingering five-spice. The mouthfeel is round with good flow, supported by lively integrated acidity, lends a succulent finish. This is a powerful Pinot Gris with lush fruit and subtle five-spice on a round, smooth mouthfeel. Match with crispy-skin duck and roast pork over the next 3-4 years. Cool fermented to 13% alc, 7 g/l RS. Left on full lees for an extended period. 18+/20 pts 4 stars – Michael Cooper, Winestate The ageworthy 2020 vintage was estate-grown in the upper Awatere Valley. Pale straw, it is mouthfilling, with good intensity of peachy, spicy flavours, a vague hint of sweetness, and a slightly creamy texture. Best drinking 2022+. 13.0%
