Waimea means River Garden in Maori.

A classic ‘top of the south’ style, bright-fruited and “crunchy” in spirit. Vibrantly and fresh, this sauvignon blanc offers tangy citrus, fleshy stone-fruit and tropical flavours over subtle herbs and mineral notes.  The excellent 2019 vintage has provided lovely depth of flavour.

5 Stars          Michael Cooper’s Buyer’s Guide 2020

90/100          Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate, April 2020

“Fresh and mouth filling, it is sweet-fruited, with generous, ripe tropical-fruit flavours, a subtle seasoning of oak, good drive through the palate, finely balanced acidity and a rounded finish. Already delicious, it offers excellent drinking now to 2021.”
