The Darling 2009 Sauvignon Blanc

Back to the wine

Max Allen – Gourmet Traveller Magazine Sept 2009
From a new label comes this vibrant, young savvy, full of flavours of green apple and feijoa and lemon zest.

Bob Campbell MW - 84 Points, 3 Stars
Moderately concentrated wine with Awatere-like (the wine is made from Wairau Valley fruit) herbal notes and mineral characters. Accessible Sauvignon Blanc with soft acidity that leaves a pleasantly drying finish without locking in flavours. Link of Review
 
Wine NZ Magazine – Autumn 2010
Here’s a wine with vibrant lemon aromas, good palate weight and good concentration of flavour. Dryish and well-proportioned showing flavours of gooseberry, passionfruit and herb.
 
Michael Cooper – The Listener April 24th
4.5 Stars   Mouthfilling and concentrated, with incisive, tropical fruit flavours, crisp dry and long.
