Sauvignon Blanc is well adapted to our gravelly soils and maritime climate. The fruit is from the cooler southern end of Margaret River, which is renowned for its fragrant white wines. Bold aromas of red currant, passion fruit and orange blossom laced with exotic notes of lychee and clove. A creamy mouth filling palate delights the senses with an unexpected richness and depth of flavour.
AWARDS
95pts Ray Jordan "..lemonly oak and lightly tropical fruit have an infusion of lemon zest to lift with a little of that fresh lychee character adding further complexity. It's a beautiful wine with cellaring potential."
