The reviews speak volumes, this is what they said about the 2008…

The Independent Weekly – Philip White – 93 Points
"This is bigger, more thought-out sauvignon than your average Kiwi, and certainly a lot more chop than your average Adelaide Hillsby. Rather than simple grass and acid, it offers layers of complex tropical fruits, with cantalope, banana, custard apple, and jackfruit predominant. There's a cheeky top note of phosphate and burlap, and a neat turn of Chinese gooseberry acid in the finish, but it's really a grand, healthy, viscous beauty. All that plush yellow flesh!" 93 points.
 
Courier Mail - Ken Gargett
"For anyone who has been living in a deep cave in Bhutan for the past two decades Kiwi sauv blanc from Marlborough has set the wine world alight. Hesketh's Hidden Garden ($25) has a local link, with Jonathon Hesketh, an Aussie making wine from Kiwi grapes. The label is by favourite Brisbane artist Melissa Egan. It blew the others away, proving why lovers of savvy flock here. With pungent gooseberry and herbal notes, it is intense in the extreme with good acidity."
