The Chain of Ponds Pilot Block Adelaide Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a bright, expressive white wine crafted in a vibrant cool climate style. It pours a very pale green straw colour with a subtle green hue and brilliant clarity.
On the nose, this Adelaide Sauvignon Blanc bursts with intensely aromatic gooseberry, lychee, and paw paw, lifted by hints of melon, passionfruit, pineapple, and guava. Nuances of citrus and cucumber add an extra layer of freshness and complexity.
The palate is fruit-driven and lively, with crisp notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and gooseberry, supported by subtle grassy undertones. A gentle fruit sweetness and voluptuous mouthfeel are beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity, delivering exceptional length and intensity.
Rated 91 points by Sam Kim (Wine Orbit) and 91 points for the previous vintage by Ray Jordan, this is a standout release from one of the Adelaide Hills’ best producers. Available now at 50% off, this wine offers unbeatable value for a cool climate Sauvignon Blanc of this calibre.
Our Pilot Block range is named in recognition of the first trial vineyard planted by Chain of Ponds in 1985. The Pilot Block vineyard was planted with numerous varieties to test their suitability to cool climate conditions. The success of that trial started Chain of Ponds on its winemaking journey. Grapes were sourced from premium cool climate vineyards and were harvested to retain the classic refreshing tropical and citrus fruits and hints of passionfruit. We hope you enjoy this aromatic, finely balanced and crisp Sauvignon Blanc.
