Top Sauv Blanc For sure. More smooth compared to other NZ sauvignon blancs but similarly crisp and citrusy. β€” 5 years ago

Level 185 Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2015

A Kiwi SB with a citric punch, this excellent white has a floral nose, lemongrass and lime flavors up front, leading into a palate cleansing lemon zest finish. It went well with blackened tilapia and steamed green beans. β€” 7 years ago

Esk Valley

Hawkes Bay Chardonnay 2017

Elegant new world Chardonnay made in one of the best NZ wine region of Hawkes bay. Slightly oaked that brings the vanilla out along with a butter popcorn balanced with citrusy grapefruit notes. One interesting note: hints of daiginjo sake on the nose; perhaps it’s the white flower or lychees aromas. Nice new world white. β€” 5 years ago

Salo

Hawkes Bay Syrah 2013

Nose of peppercorns savoury spices and minerals Medium weight with plummy minerality coming through on the palate. Hawkes Bay NZ Syrah has always been a favourite of mine starting with Te Mata's Bull Nose Syrah 10 years ago. This Salo is made by leading Aussie winemaker Steve Flamsteed of Giant Steps in the Yarra Valley Tasted again 36 weeks later. Lacked a little mid palate fruit when compared to the Mt Langhi Cliff Edge which was a similar cool climate peppery Shiraz. I preferred the Langhi. β€” 8 years ago
