"This wine really is sunshine in a glass. As soon as the bottle is opened the intense grapefruit and citrus aromas leap out to lure you seductively into the first taste... which is fresh, clean, zesty and everything you expect from a quality New Zealand Sauvignon"
I have drunk Highfield Sauvignon at the Christmas table for the past 3 years - for the money and experience there is nothing to touch it - not even Cloudy Bay Sauvignon!"
"The 2006 has a very aromatic, fine, fruit lifted nose. Juicy, fresh, lively impact is followed by a crisp, fine mid palate that has some fruit depth as well as a citrus brightness. Finishes fluid, soft and slightly herbal."
"My favourite white wine, probably my favourite wine altogether as well. I do hope you get a chance to try this, especially if youre one of those people who pays your £18 per bottle for Cloudy Bay each year and would like to try something new. Dont get me wrong, I still like Cloudy Bay but this year there isnt any in my wine store, its full of Highfield Sauvignon Blanc.
A rating? As if you need to ask! 5 stars." Tim Mustill
Highfield Sauvignon is perfectly suited to fresh shellfish and Mediterranean cuisine - the estate Restuarant features mussels as a signature dish.
The rich and intense citrus nose with dry finish make this a wine to go with most dishes or to be enjoyed nicely chilled by itself.
"it's one of the best New Zealand sauvignon blancs I've tasted. Ripe aromas of passionfruit and citrus. Herbals notes make it refreshing and a great complement to salads, shellfish, and vegetarian dishes. 93 points" Natalie McLean
"pungent, full-on Marlborough sauvignon oozing a fruit salad of lush tropical fruit, passionfruit, gooseberries and summer herbs and spice with a lovely textural feel" Otago Daily Times
