    More austere and stony than many Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs, this is a light-bodied wine built around hints of pineapple and guava. It's a pleasant, well-priced change of pace from overly fruity and herbal versions.

    A bit too pungent for this reviewer, with layers of crushed tomato stalk and leaves holding the edge over more attractive passion-fruit notes. It's light in weight and clean on the finish, so does offer some refreshment value.

    This Hawkes Bay producer has turned out a plump, medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc sourced from Marlborough. Notes of orange and lime sherbet enliven the nose, while tropical fruit comes through on the palate. Clean and refreshing on the finish.

    A simple, fruity wine that features ample pink grapefruit and gooseberry aromas and flavors, this is a bit of a one-trick pony, but it delivers those bold fruit flavors with authority. Drink up.
