Sauvignon Blanc & Blends
Sauvignon Blanc is an aromatic variety often made in a 'fresh' style to exhibit grassy aromas, gooseberry flavours and delicate acidity. It can also be made in the French tradition, fermented and matured in old oak.
Hints of minerality coupled with the gooseberry/lime lift give this wine structure and poise to be one of the more exciting wines from this vintage.
Fruit-driven palate with nettle and green melon notes that finish with a silky soft texture.
Lifted citrus notes together with grassy characters. Also shows some background
lees ageing complexities.
Sauvignon and Semillon are commonly blended together in Australia, but the addition of the Mediterranean grape variety Rolle (sometimes called Vermentino) is unique. A fresh, crisp wine with a fine acid backbone. Delicious!
Fresh, grassy aromas with tropical and citrus fruit notes carry through onto the palate which is soft and rounded finishing with crisp, balanced acidity.
Subtle ‘Euro’ Sauvignon style with nuance of variety, lots of texture and poise.

We all love Sauvignon Blanc so we added bubbles! Fresh and zesty with citrus, gooseberry and tropical fruit flavours, finishing with persistence, balance and fine structure.
