Winestate Magazine 97 points. Ten Sisters Sauvignon Blanc has a delightfully fragrant and complex bouquet with underlying citrus aromas. Single-vineyard sourcing allows the terroir its full expression and elicits a purity of flavors. The palate is bright and elegant with refined acidity and ripe flavors. It has good concentration and length, excellent structure, and a well-balanced finish. The sauvignon blanc is given extended lees contact — more than the majority of Marlborough sauvignon blancs — to create complexity and to bring out fruit flavors. Excellent on its own or with seafood, chicken, pork, salads, and Asian food....

Greystone Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Barrel Ferment Organic [SK 95]
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 5 stars. 100% barrel fermentation. Certified Organic. Truly unique style of Sauvignon Blanc for New Zealand ! In our vineyard we grow two rare clones of Sauvignon Blanc ( 376 and 530 ), originally taken from the Loire Valley. This is very different from the rest of New Zealand, which generally uses a singular Bordeaux clone.

These grapes give us beautiful fruit flavours of golden kiwifruit, mango, ripe pineapple and guava. 2022 vintage comment....."Fragrantly aromatic...
