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.
