I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I found this about it:
Esk Valley 2010 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

Restaurant Wine - December 01, 2011

The Sauvignon Blanc is also exceptional: supple, full bodied, and
intensely flavored, with excellent balance and length. It has rich
texture, crisp acidity, and a persistent finish, tasting of
grapefruit, green bean, pineapple, passion fruit, and lemon peel.
Delicious
