Marlborough.
Pale yellow/straw color, with an explosive nose of citrus and tropical fruits, which attack the palate with big, juicy flavors. High acidity and some balancing residual sugar. This is not a food-friendly SB, but it does fine on its own. Some people will like it, but it might be a bit too much for others. All stainless, and under a screwcap (like most NZ whites). Ran about $16 locally. Alc. 13.5%. FWIW, New Zealand’s first indigenous wine company.
BTW, they do a nice job with Pinot Noir, and at reasonable prices.

Dananne, I would agree with your notes and I am a bit of a fan of this wine. I love the absolutely huge notes of guava that I get always with this wine but it can overwhelm some light foods but works well with nice sandwichs!!

Also am a fan. Seems to be a winner every time.
