Description

  • Dry style
  • Kiwifruit & lime
  • Elderflower
  • Refreshing acidity

"It's intensely aromatic on the nose, showing feijoa, golden kiwifruit, kaffir lime and jasmine aromas, leading to a flavoursome palate that's punchy and tasty. The wine offers juicy fruit intensity with beautifully pitched acidity, making it refreshing and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2023

"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is fresh, with clean aromas of gooseberry, pineapple, elderflower and hints of capsicum. Medium-light bodied, aromas of gooseberry and pineapple melded with a lime zest, elderflower and subtle green capsicum. The wine is cleansing and pure with soft, juicy acidity. Lime zest and elderflower fragrance lift the wine, unfolding a hint of saline and a refreshing closing" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jul 2023

"Generous, pungent and fragrant bouquet with classic scents of fresh herbs and fruit spices, wet stone, pineapple and  citrus zest. On the palate a dry wine with an equally powerful appeal, flavours of apples and pineapple, lemon and cape gooseberry, fresh basil and crushed wet stones. Well made, salivating and ready to drink from day of purchase through end of summer 2026. Excellent value" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jul 2023

This Sauvignon blanc has a pale straw colour and a complex aroma of Feijoa, elderflower, guava, currant, and wet stone. The palate is juicy with lime zest, while the mouthfeel is elegant, refined and focused.

This year's vintage is one of the finest in the last ten years. A cool summer allowed the grapes to ripen gently and evenly and show concentrated and distinctive flavours, The nature of this season allowed for optimal picking decisions. Our Sauvignon Blanc is vibrant and expressive in character, with refreshing acidity and a refined structure on the palate. We achieve maximum fruit purity and varietal character through cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks, aged on lees for 2 months to add texture and complexity.

Food Pairing: Best savoured with friends on a sunny afternoon with a charcoal grilled piece of fish topped with herbaceous chimichurri sauce.
