The Adelaide Hills is recognised as one of Australia’s finest Sauvignon Blanc growing regions: altitude, soils and weather patterns seem to draw the best from this variety.
Sourced from a vineyard in Carey Gully that Stephen has worked with for over twelve years, consistently delivering fruit freshness and natural acidity. Stylistically opposed to Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, a wine more akin to the food-friendly nature of Sancerre or Graves.
White currant, lime blossom and French tarragon aromas are followed by a citrus-driven palate with passionfruit and gooseberry providing the harmony. Grapefruit, chalk and snow peas finish things off.
Classic. Fresh and vibrant with tension and length, with a hint of phenolics adding to the texture and flow. – Stephen Pannell
