Dazzling, pristine green tinged straw. Distinctive lifted fresh Sauvignon fruit purity, aromas of fragrant gooseberries, herbaceous Thai basil and just cut green grass as well as complex hints ... High impact and mouth-filling with more zingy gooseberry fruit and fresh layers of mineral like flavour in the middle palate before a long zesty citrus tinged juicy fruit finish.

Complex peel, fine flinty smoky oak and lees characters. Exotic tropics which are just right now, not over ripe. So stimulating and provocative. Powerful in the mouth: vibrant and tongue tingling
packed with pineapple and rich textures. Sublime stuff. 97 pointsTim White, Australian Financial Review, 3 October 2014

It's such a stirringly aromatic wine, singing 'Marlborough Sauv' with a big, full and slightly sweaty nose of ripe fruit. Importantly, there a herbal edge too, a nod to what Marlborough Sauv should taste like, ie not all tropical fruit. Actually, there's no tropicals at all, which makes this (arguably) even more enjoyable.
A long palate, prominent acid and yet still with plenty to come. Personally I'd prefer to drink this in another 6 months (and the 2013 is still a fraction better in my opinion), though no doubting that this is another supremely good Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from one of the benchmark wineries. Score: 18/20, 93/100+ Would I buy it? Absolutely. The go-to Marlborough Sauv (Ozwinereview)

Colour: Pale green/straw.
Aroma: The wine opens with pea shell, flint and passionfruit with an underlying mealy richness. There is a floral lift with balanced nutty oak in support.
Palate: Full, firm and long with creamy-mineral texture. Herbaceous flavours dominate with pea shell, nettle and grass, along with underlying passionfruit and blackcurrant. There is a nutty/oatmeal complexity from barrel fermentation and time on yeast lees. A restrained style with purity and complexity.

Some old French oak, wild yeast, time on lees, funk. Not your usual NZ sauvignon blanc. Excellent intensity. A tonne of wild character. Gravel, tropical fruit, sweat, earth, thistles, orange peels, sulphur. Has a slippery smooth coating to it, but pulpy passionfruity acidity refuses to be calmed. So intense it almost hurts. Excellent lingering finish. Armed and dangerous style of sauvignon blanc. In-your-face but remarkable quality. Rated : 94 Points WInefront.com.au

This wine, a modern type of French sauvignon, has intense varietal personality, suggesting tropical fruits, blackcurrants, grass and minerals. It tastes forward and fruity, refreshing and clean. Ralph Kyte-Powell

It’s cracking value. ... Tropical fruits and hay. Acidity gets a little stringy on the finish but it’s bright, flavoursome and different-enough to make you want to reach for more. Compelling in its category. Winefront.com.au

Brilliantly clear, the pale straw colour signifies how perfect our timing was. Pure Adelaide Hills aromatics leap out of the glass showing fresh cut grass characters, honeysuckle, jasmine and underlying tropical passionfruit. The journey along the palate is wondrously complex and fills the mouth with crisp melon, gooseberry and nettle, all the while maintaining a vibrant, zesty balance with Longview's hallmark of gentle refreshing acidity.

As ever, estate-grown, and exceptional value for money. Quartz-white; as pure a sauvignon blanc in the Adelaide Hills idiom as one could hope for: passionfruit, citrus and gooseberry trip along lightly, leaving the mouth fresh and clean thanks to crisp acidity. A harbinger of a great vintage. 92 points James Halliday Top 100 Wines

Granny smith apple, kiwi fruits and citrus blossoms make an enchanting perfumed nose. The palate also delivers with intense tropical fruits providing excellent fruit weight while nuisances of box hedge, cut grass and minerals provide interest and complexity. The cool vineyard site also allows good retention of natural acidity that is expressed in the minerality and persistence of flavour.
