Sauvignon Blanc

Sancerre, France. A little bit of hedgerow the only herbaceous note on a restrained and pure nose that is mostly fruit and mineral: a bit of green apple and lemon, gooseberry with that typical impression of wet stone and a sense of roundedness (creamy lees). Dry and restrained as it goes in, too – a sense of firmness to the fruit, with good intensity of flavour and...

Mansfield, Victoria. Showing flavours of gooseberry and guava with herbaceous notes, about 25% of the juice was barrel-fermented in new French oak puncheons and lees stirred for six weeks (then transferred to seasoned French barriques for a month) before blending back, which has contributed great complexity and texture to the wine...

Marlborough, New Zealand. Comprised of fruit from both the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. The Wairau Valley contributes vibrant aromatics and a flurry of tropical fruit characters. The Awatere Valley adds a crisp acidity and distinct minerality... 

Adelaide Hills, South Australia. A benchmark for Australian Sauvignon Blanc. Unwooded to maximise varietal punch. Pale and bright, with great clarity. Aromas of pink grapefruit, with a hint of basil, underline the freshness that this wine has in abundance...

Marlborough, New Zealand. The colour is pale straw with green tinges. Fragrant passionfruit and citrus. The palate contains quenching pineapple and passion-fruit with balanced natural acidity. The finish is dry with a persistent, fresh zesty aftertaste...

McLaren Vale, South Australia. ‘Forget-me-not’ has a delicate lemon/ lantana nose with a hint of fruit tingles, as well as fresh straw. On the palate it is clean and lemony, just the way we like it. This is such a terrific blend of varieties, and so versatile – for the quick pre-prandial drink, to being matched with seafood dishes, oysters, etc, so on and so forth, the list is endless. As much as we like to have a dig at the Bordelais, it’s hard to find fault with this style of wine. Absolutely delicious...

Marlborough, New Zealand. Sauvignon Blanc is grown in our Marlborough vineyard on stony riverbed terraces, gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks to give intense passionfruit and gooseberry fruit characters. The wine is fruit-driven in style, with complexity from lees ageing for several months in stainless steel tanks before bottling. This wine is a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with intense flavours and crisp acid in a dry style...

Marlborough, New Zealand. A pure and classy Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, expressing white nectarine, passionfruit and lime zest flavours with a hint of musky complexity. Intensely aromatic on the nose, the palate displays smooth fruit richness and juicy acidity...
