Waimea means River Garden in Maori. Pure, delicately fragrant aromas of citrus, lemongrass and ripe apple. Light to medium bodied, the palate is lively with lime, lemon and orange citrus flavours and zest. Tropical notes contribute depth and succulence. Elegantly nuanced rather than loud and pungent in style, there is no lack of crunchy, mouthwatering intensity and drive from beginning to end.
Cameron Douglas MS, 14 August 2025 – Varietal and intense, a distinctive mineral core and scents of citrus and stone, cape gooseberry and lime, white flowers and a touch of fruit spice. Equally intense and dry on the palate with fruit and soil impressions a mirror of the bouquet. Taut and youthful with a generous palate squeeze. Delicious, with best drinking from day of purchase through 2030+ 93 Points
Stephen Wong, The Real Review, 3 April 2025 – Layers of perfumed blossom, citrus leaf and oyster-shell adorn a base of ripe apple on this delicately complex sauvignon. The palate is dry, elegant and racy, dancing on the edge of herbaceousness with notes of nettle tea, vetiver and white pepper to accompany the refreshingly stony phenolics. A touch astringent on the finish currently, but this will certainly meld together in the coming months 92 Points
