Vibrant fresh tropical notes of passionfruit and white peach with the highlight of gooseberries and green bell pepper on the nose. The palate is made in a riveting dry style, this wine has a well-balanced palate with zesty, mouth-filling tropical fruit flavour. The abundant fruit character is nicely balanced with the talcy acidity which leaves a crisp, long finish to the wine.
The 2021 Great Southern vintage was characterised by a warmer than average March that aided ripening conditions for all key varietals. Rain in February provided critical soil moisture that allowed canopies to remain healthy and green and the normal cool nights in March allowed optimum acidity to be retained in the aromatic white varieties.
The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc was machine harvested at the coolest part of the night to preserve the maximum fruit characters of the grapes. After gentle pressing the juice the separated free run and pressings portions were treated separately, clarified, and racked. Fermentation was conducted under cool conditions (12-15deg C) to maintain fruit intensity. Post fermentation the wine received regular lees stirring to add complexity and mouthfeel. The wine was lightly fined, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
93 Point Rated - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Beautifully fruited and fragrant, the bouquet shows nectarine, capsicum and kaffir lime aromas, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate delivering youthful fruit intensity backed by bright acidity, finishing long and delightfully mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2025."

“Sliced apples, fresh pears, lemons and gooseberries on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a crisp, crunchy palate."
Aaron Brasher The Real Review
"Pale onion-skin in the glass. Red fruits, creamy and a lift of spice on the nose. Red-fruited, juicy and mouth-filling, lemony acidity and some phenolics add texture and length."
Stuart Knox The Real Review
"A pale lemon-yellow colour. A nose of lemon zest and baking pastry. Soft and lemony fruit on the tongue. A little simple and sweet, with a touch of green leaf bitterness at the finish."
