2025 Sauvignon Blanc

Estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc, planted in 1997. Ray Jordan for WinePilot After the heat of 2024, this was a very kind vintage producing fruit of generosity and balance, with bright natural acidity. The wine is not so overt as some Sauvignon Blancs can be but still offers a combination of guava and gooseberry with a citrusy melon character and just a faint touch of finishing cut grass herbaceousness for balance. Clean, crisp, with good flavour intensity. Score: 90/100                               Cellar: 4 years Machine harvested Sauvignon Blanc fruit was pressed and underwent solids flotation before being racked to stainless steel tank with low solids for fermentation. A cool ferment was carried out to maximise varietal character and freshness. Racked off lees as soon as ferment was completed.
