Taonga is the Maori word for “treasured gift,” usually symbolized by the jade necklace given to visitors. Waxy lemon, green veg, honey and a bit of matchstick lead precede a chalky textured palate. Searing acidity keeps the body light in feel. Light emerald straw color. Vegetal, tropical aromas of passionfruit, eucalyptus, and ruby red grapefruit with a satiny, tangy, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, charming, medium-length starfruit, tangerine, and mango finish with no oak flavor. A tropical bouquet of fruit & acidity all rolled into a crushable NZ Sauv Blanc package. Show more
