96 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2024 Otira Glacial Stones Sauvignon Blanc is just such a fantastic wine. I love it every year. Mineral tension, poise and elongated shape are the hallmarks of this wine. The wine has a smell of fresh sheets, crisp, crushed shells, white spice and ocean air. I appreciate the length and stretch of this wine—it fully extends and lingers, and there is a textural pulsing and undulation. It is truly excellent. 2024 was a warm vintage and produced wines of amplitude and volume, yet here the terroir has compressed the fruit into its own shape. So, with the coupling of the season and the terroir, we have this. It's a triumph among triumphs.

Very classy with a fragrant nose of ripe lemons, subtle elderflowers, hay and lime zest, accented by a touch of sea spray. The palate is crisp and razor-focused with a backbone of racy acidity and a firm, lightly phenolic structure. Extremely long and precise.
 
95 Points Wine Enthusiast & "Editor's Choice"
There's a gentleness to this single site Sauvignon, from a top French-owned biodynamic estate. It's concentrated, flavorsome, but never forced or over-made. There's pronounced minerality—like stones, shells and fresh cut meadow crunching underfoot—and salted margarita vibes, with pineapple rind garnish. Bright, tangy acidity and herb-and-citrus flavors aren't shy on the palate, but they never shout their presence. Mouth-watering and textural enough to be food friendly; the mineral core anchors a ship of flavor.
 
Winemaker Notes
Ripe aromatics with a delicate expression; elderflower and clover honey adds complexity to the lemonade apple flavors which bloom across the gently pithy, dry palate. Finishing elegantly, 2024 offers finesse, focus and freshness with a cool, citrusy acidity.
