SPOKE Awatere Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Pristine and fabulously lifted, the bouquet shows green apple, sweet basil, kaffir lime and subtle musky aromas, followed by a wonderfully flavoursome palate that’s juicy and lively. Upfront and intensely expressed, offering excellent drinking. At its best: now to 2028. Score – 95. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Aug. 2024)
