Occasional wine note

This the 1st Sauvignon Blanc in our collection from Australia, and the first wine from the Adelaide Hills wine region. You might mistake this one for a great New Zealand Sauv Blanc. We did. This one brings all the freshness, flavors and aromas you should expect from a quality Sauv Blanc with an elegance that takes you through to a great finish.

What experts say about this wine

James Suckling

Very fresh nose with a wide spectrum of aromas, ranging from forthrightly grassy and fresh-basil notes to gooseberry, grapefruit and passion fruit, this is a juicy and elegant Adelaide Hills sauvignon blanc. Long, racy finish.
