This premium cool climate Sauvignon Blanc from the Coal River Valley in Tasmania displays fresh aromas of citrus and tropical fruit, soft and creamy with delicate flavours.

Pressing Matters R139 Riesling is a delicious dessert wine showing a pale straw colour. The bouquet of this wine highlights the sweet aromas of Riesling that sweep across the dainty palate as well. Pear Eau de Vie, quince, ginger and citrus chutney flavours stream across the palate before being corralled into the long, clean and delicate finish. The wine is lovely with soft cheeses and fruit-based desserts.

Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is delicate yet full, the palate is distinctively lemon and lime with subtle star anise, lemongrass and clove. Richness and weight are balanced with fresh acidity, giving direction and finesse.

Isabel Estate is an always much sought after Sauvignon Blanc and is regarded as one of the jewels of Marlborough. Winemaking inputs such as barrel ferment and lees ageing contribute to it's complexity.

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.

John Quarisa, aka Johnny Q, is a terrific winemaker, creating wines that, like him, can be lively and highly charged. In his Caravan wine series, he likes to think of a grape that changes in style as it travels. So that here, Sauvignon Blanc grown in his Riverina vineyards produces a wine still with loads of grassy fresh zip, but along the way, has developed more tropical fruit flavours too. That is peach, pineapple and passionfruit! He insists on night harvested grapes to ensure lots of bright fresh flavours and cool ferments them for the same reason. This wine previously won a Gold medal and we think the 2021 vintage is tasting just as good – it's a fridge-door-must! Chill down and enjoy as a glass on its own or with spicy Thai dishes.

Craggy Range produce some of the finest Sauvignon Blanc to come out of New Zealand resulting in wines that have rich ripe fruit flavours. The Te Muna Road site produces wines of great depth length and character.

Fresh & generous, when picked on time there is a lovely sea spray character which carries you into perfectly ripe peach & lemon curd on the palate. Partial malo lactic fermentation, the acid is pure and lon Two sites (both mine) are relatively far apart - 3 Wishes (as above) and Domaine RB which is back near Launceston, kinda white hills - a low yielding, previously derelict vineyard. 3 Wishes was picked fairly early, in the effort to keep it crispy, then I let it roll through malo to take the edge off. All was left on lees, no sulphur over the winter, assembled and then left on fine lees for a bit longer. Completes the quartet of easily the best set of sub-regionals I've managed to squeeze out. Two Tonne Tasmania began in 2013, when a young local winemaker, nudged into the tightly held Tamar Valley by sourcing literally a couple of tonnes of Pinot Noir. This project is all about eking out small parcels of fruit, giving them lots of love, finding their true potential. Previously Winemaker at Bay of Fires, Ricky Evans' solo project is sourced from a diverse range of interesting & unique vineyards in the Tamar Valley and East Coast of Tasmania. Most of these are either leased and managed by himself, or he has a strong connection and involvement with. Two Tonne Tasmania was a Top 12 finalist in Young Gun of Wine in 2016, 2017 & 2018, and took home the peoples choice award in 2016.

Organically grown grapes from Tasmania have yielded a complex Pinot Noir with dried strawberry fruit characters and a satisfying savoury palate. Elegant and enjoyable Pinot from an up and coming producer!
