Spinyback
Spinyback makes expressive wines reflecting the terroir of the Nelson region--frosty winters, long dry summers, cool autumn nights combined with the most hours of sunshine in New Zealand. Their fruit-driven wines exhibit concentration, texture, and balance. In keeping with the fine New Zealand winery tradition of ecological stewardship, every purchase of Spinyback wines provides direct funding toward the protection of the Tuatara, a near-extinct reptile found only in New Zealand.

2008 Nelson Sauvignon Blanc
Bouquet: Lovely, pungent aromas of gooseberry, passionfruit, and lime.
Palate: Grapefuit and lime with a mineral undercurrent. Refreshing and zesty, with subtle texture, and excellent balance and length.
Serving Suggestions: An all-occasion wine - enjoy lightly chilled on a summer’s day or paired with seafood (especially mussels).Reviews and Awards
Best Buy "Simply the best 2008 savvy that we have tasted and its great value too. The vibrant passionfruit nose precedes a palate of ripe, tropical fruit with distinctive herbaceous nuances. In essence proper sauvignon flavours."
TiZ Wine, 2008
