This single-vineyard SB from Marlborough's Awatere Valley proves that a few years in the bottle can do wonders in rounding out the ultrazippy style for which the region is famed. The nose is a balanced and delicate combo of lime, florals, green herbs and a little bell pepper with a touch of honey hiding in the wings. Lifted, crisp acidity is present but doesn't dominate the palate. There's a long line of bright, limey fruit and a slightly chalky texture. Drink now.
