Dashwood Sauvignon Blanc 2005

Cuisine Magazine - October 2005

Four and a half stars - Sauvignon Blanc tasting 'Best Buy'

A great buy from Vavasour. Lifted herbaceous aromas lead into an elegant, harmonious palate with fresh, vibrant and concentrated gooseberry/lime flavours, smoothly flowing and lingering.

Wine NZ Dec 2005 - Outstanding 'Value for Money' Wine

Made from a blend of 50% Wairau and 50% Awatere fruit but showing perhaps more of the steelier, more mineral Awatere character. A lovely cool climate Sauvignon Blanc with vivid crunchy green apple and lemon flavours with a touch of capsicum balanced by mouth watering acidity and a crisp dry finish. Good length of flavour.

Christchurch Press - October 20, 2005

The never-ending search for a stand-out wine will lead many to this one. It offers soft and easy drinking, and its restrained acidity means food is not a necessity. Flavours of lime and passionfruit; on the nose, citrus and pears, but with a light touch. This wine has very good length. It is refreshing and more-ish.

"Talk about sunshine in a glass! Its flinty Awatere style mingles with the passionfruit flavours of warm vineyards on the Wairau Plains. Fantastic value for money, and sealed with a screwcap."

"Dashwood has a stylish new label, oodles of lush ripe fruit - melon, mango, kiwi - a suggestion of coconut and a crisp tingly finish. It's already attractive and will develop over the summer."
