From indigenous Mairi producer Steve Bird Wines, Tiaki translates as “care” in the native Maori tongue, a word that fits into the winery’s outlook on a sustainable environment. The thrilling, gem-like perfume of laurel, thyme, grass, and grapefruit is a highlight. A spark of energy on first sip ignites the palate with a salty, key lime and mango. Crisp Anjou pear and white flowers merge on the fresh and electric finish. 93 points
