A riper expression of Sauvignon here. Quince, a little smoke, fresh pineapple, honey and leaf, a fleshy glossy glide, but cut with flinty texture and pink grapefruit acidity, finish is particularly long with orchard fruit, quinine and a smattering of green herb. Excellent wine.

Patient COTTAT was a famous Master Goldsmith in the mid 19th century in France. Born in Paris, he loved the Berry region, in the Centre of France. Anciennes Vignes is a Sauvignon Blanc wine from the prestigious Sancerre Appellation in the LoireValley. Tasting notes - Golden green reflections. Nose : Complex and intense. Prevailing aromas of acacia blossoms with a muscat-like note of passion-fruit. Palate : Full and fat. Very well balanced. Aromas of lychee and a touch of honey.

Domaine Paul Corneau is located in the hamlet of Bouchot in Pouilly- sur-Loire. Paul started with a family heritage of 5 ha of vines in 1977. Domaine Paul Corneau Pouilly-Fumé is generous and unctuous. Very appealing on the nose with notes of citrus (tangerines, oranges), the mouth confirms the first olfactory sensations and elegantly displays a subtle balance of fresh fruit aromas (peach, lemon, blackcurrant) supported by a silky, refreshing smokey finale typical of Pouilly-Fumé wines.

Our 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is delicious with a hint of tartness, just like our 11-year-old wine dog Mollie. Crafted from Tumbarumba grapes, this wine displays passionfruit flavours and tropical aromas. It’s sure to be a crowd pleaser and will have you howling for another glass.

Grape variety - 100% Sauvignon Blanc Oak maturation - 56% of the wine spent 5 months in French Barriques. 11% in new oak and the balance in 1 and 4 year old oak. Colour - Pale straw-green.

A complex Sauvignon Blanc made in a Fumé Blanc style. Food matches - Goats cheese salad with asparagus, scallops with pea puree. Peak drinking - Drink now to 2026. Viticulture - Handpicked fruit from the open lyre trellis “Home Block” vineyard went into this Sauvignon Blanc. The 2022 vintage was a warm year for white grapes in Margaret River allowing plenty of time during January and February to ripen the fruit to our specification. Winemaking - The fruit was harvested very early in the morning, then sent immediately to the winery for processing. 44% of the wine was fermented in stainless steel with a known yeast strain. The remaining wine was fermented in French barriques with 49% of the blend being fermented with wild yeast on medium to high solids. The final blend was put together in July 2022. Storage and Bottling - Bottled under screw cap into a premium burgundy bottle in August 2022. After elevating the Sauvignon Blanc to the ‘Premium’ status within the Forester range in 2009, we have further increased the structure and complexity of the wine through barrel fermentation, partial wild fermentation and storage on lees.

A succulent and vibrant white, packed with aromas and flavours of pithy citrus, and shot through with smoky, resinous freshness and mouth-watering acidity.
