Fresh grassy aromas, lime zest and lemongrass yield to a crisp, dry palate with moreish texture and length. 'This is very lean sauvignon blanc, deliciously dry and sprinkled with a hit of peppery spice for interest. It's long, refreshing and racy with a fine mineral kick in the finish. Simple tropical fruit juiciness comes to play. Nothing cerebral, but it doesn't have to be - a good thirst slaker is sometimes the order of the day.' - 89 Points. - Mike Bennie, Winefront.

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.

Length of flavour is also a stand out feature of this artisan version of the very popular style.

Isabel Estate Chardonnay exudes bright, ripe fruit such as grapefruit and lemon with upfront acidity. Complex aromas of sweet nuttiness, ripe figs and a touch of melon follow closely by with delicious nougat and caramel. Finish is creamy and lingering. Not one to miss.
