This is a drier style of sauvignon blanc, acidity kept nicely in balance with the alcohol and the very little residual sugar that is there, so it’s all about how all these things come together to make a pleasurable whole. I craft my wines so that nothing stands out as one singular spike, instead revealing a lovely layering of flavours and aromas that people can keep finding as they spend time savouring the glass.

Checking all the boxes, this stunning version is fresh and vibrant yet also complex and full of flavor, from toasted green tea and lemon thyme to mouthwatering passion fruit, yuzu and mango. Ends with hints of white pepper, lemon blossoms and sea salt on the long, expressive finish. Drink now. 9,000 cases imported.

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc leads with pronounced tropical notes on the nose with kiwi, guava, green apple and rock melon (cantaloupe). In the mouth, the wine is textural and fine, powerful and long. This is a classy wine, here—no surprises. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Aromas of fresh peaches, sliced mangoes and jasmine. Medium-bodied with silky texture. Bright and succulent with fresh tropical and stone fruit at the core. Subtle spice at the finish. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap.
