Oh man, this is good. Wee swirl and the nose is all zing with tropical bits and melon coming through straight away. Yum. The taste is all about pineapple and melon at first and the acidity is perfect, grassy and with a slight fizz on the tongue - but without the punch-you-in-the-face thing that the Sylvia reserve (which I also love) has going on. It's elegant and classy, there's a creamy, roundness to this wine that gives way to terrific mouth feel and a finish that goes on forever. Sounds like a great NZ SB? It is. Buy it - before I buy it all.
