A really elegant and feminine wine that will please many people. Golden in colour with an excellent butterscotch nose, the palate has delicious soft fruit and an opulent texture. The acid backbone is very gentle whilst the finish is clean and persistent. More

Spinyback Sauvignon Blanc

Rating Rating Rating Rating

Spinyback is essentially the second label of Waimea Estates and has a reputation for providing excellent value for money. This wine is no exception. It has tropical fruit aromas that are carried through to the palate where the fruit is sweet, ripe and juicy and the acidity is well balanced. Very good now and may well improve. More
