Winemaker's Notes:
Pale straw in colour streaked with green hues. Herbal elements of sage and mint are balanced by lime and passionfruit aromatics. A subliminal hint of vanilla and cream provide the added complexity. The palate’s rich core of fruit is tempered by citrus-like acidity lending balance and freshness.

The 2010 Te Muna Road Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc has pronounced grass and lemon zest aromas over grapefruit, gooseberry and green apple. Dry and medium bodied with lively acidity, it has plenty of herbal and green apple flavors that linger long into the finish. Drinking now, it should remain fresh to 2013.

Pale yellow. Lemon, pineapple and peach aromas lifted by pungent herbs, white pepper and flowers. A concentrated bomb of yellow fruits in the mouth, but kept firm by brisk, harmonious acidity. Finishes broad and long, with a chalky character contributing to an impression of dryness. Serious sauvignon blanc.
