Opened both their Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc - both of the 04 vintage
- a few days ago with family (who're similarly very fond of those varietals).
Both wines were quite wonderful. The Riesling was very refreshing, not too acidic with strong citrus flavours and hints of peach, and the SB was even better. One of the best Sauvs I've had from Marlborough; quite herbaceous with lots of tropical fruit and a really great finish. Both very highly recommended.

Hi Salil
Did you purchase these wines in Singapore?
Lawsons Dry Hills also makes an excellent Gewurztraminer, one of NZs better examples of this variety.
Only the Sauv. I tasted the Riesling a year ago when I was in New Zealand, and was blown away. I've since been trying to find a bottle in Singapore, but had no luck whatsoever - luckily managed to pick up a bottle when in Sydney a few weeks ago, and brought it back with me.
NZ wines (apart from SBs) aren't too easy to come by here, which irritates me a fair bit, as I'm very fond of them - particularly the Marlborough and Waipara Rieslings. Digressing a bit, but have you tried the Muddy Water Riesling?
