Wine Reviews

Offers a stunning, intense and energetic mix of ripe peach, Meyer lemon, Key lime and fresh Honeycrisp apple notes, with accents of litsea oil, toasted green tea and Himalayan sea salt on the finish. A touch of lemon balm lingers.

The 2024 Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc leads with a lean, complex nose that is layered with preserved citrus, paw paw, stewed apple and white pineapple. The wine has excellent texture on the palate; the phenolic grip here presents an extra dimension of interest and chew, further cementing the appreciation of the wine. This is very good, classy.

The 2023 Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc is bright and crunchy, with sweet pea and green apple, jasmine tea, wisteria flower and crushed shells. It’s a lovely wine with lots of reasons to recommend it.

On the riper end of the Sauvignon spectrum, there’s a heady combo of orange peel, pineapple, kiwi and flower blossom aromas that flow to a refreshing palate. It’s delicate and crisp with a little creaminess to the texture and a fruity tang to the long finish.

Citrus-driven aromas with undertones of white pepper, jalapeno, lime leaf, crushed stones and flint. The palate is light-bodied, with a bright line of acidity and a tightly wound mouthfeel, finishing with a mineral edge. Nicely constructed, with a good core of fruit. Drink now. Screw cap.
