Another outstanding release from excellent producer, Scotchmans Hill. Robin Brockett adds a touch of oak to lend some welcome texture and dimension not always seen in this variety, yet it retains its trademark zing.

An elegant and age-worthy barrel-ferment style, Terre à Terre Sauvignon Blanc shows attractive lemon-rind and nettle notes complemented by mid-palate creamy texture and gunflint complexity. The wine is barrel-fermented in a mix of barriques and large 600L demi-muids. Maturation then takes place over 6-9 months to build texture and complexity.

The Adelaide Hills has positioned itself as the premier region for high quality Australian Sauvignon Blanc and after tasting Sidewood's Single Vineyard Sauv it isn't hard to see why. Bold flavours of citrus zest greet you on the nose and the initial palate followed by a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel. Length of flavour is also a stand out feature of this artisan version of the very popular style.

Crisp lively drinking from this respected producer with the grassy Sauvignon Blanc character balancing the fuller Semillon flavours. Bottled under screwcap to retain freshness.

This attractive Sauvignon Blanc is pale lemon in colour with aromas of ripe tropical fruit and freshly cut grass. The palate displays racy acidity with great intensity of fruit flavour and a long persistent finish.

The Josef Chromy Sauvignon Blanc provides aromas of ripe lychee and sweet gooseberry with fresh herbaceous notes. The palate is soft and full with flavours of lychee, elderflower and lemongrass.

This attractive blend displays lively aromas of freshly cut grass, grapefruit, passionfruit and gooseberries. The primary fruit complexity on the mid palate maintains interest from start to finish.

A relatively new name but Dog Point's owners have years of experience in Marlborough and this label is much sought after. This release is beautifully textured rich and delicious.
