Te Pa Oke Sauvignon Blanc 2019 (750ml)
Winemaker Notes Notes of stone and tropical fruit, citrus blossom, and just a hint of lightly smoked vanilla. Delicious with seafood and roasted poultry. Critical Acclaim D93DecanterVery poised, focused purity and concentration on the bouquet. Impressively complex this has enticing black currant and gooseberry flavors and a really long, elegant finish. Superb.JS92James SucklingStrikingly fresh, toasty-oak aromas here with very attractive grilled hazelnuts, layered into vibrant, rich, tropical-fruit flavors and a smoothly honed palate. Complex and delicious.RP91Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateThe 2018 Oke Sauvignon Blanc was fermented with indigenous yeasts in 320-liter "cigars" of French oak. Notes of struck match and burnt coffee appear on the nose, adding an appealing savory edge to scents of grilled citrus and stone fruit. It's medium-bodied and richly textured on the palate, then finishes a bit dry and woody. My best guess is that this needs another year or so of cellaring before hitt
