2009 Sauvignon Blanc

Trophy winner from the 2009 Royal Adelaide Wine Show for Best Sauvignon Blanc. An elegant wine, fresh and light yet bursting with flavour, almost a contradiction of delicacy and power.

  • Awards:

    Gold medal and Trophy for Best Sauvignon Blanc In Show at the 2009 Royal Adelaide Wine Show.

    Bronze Medals: Royal Adelaide, Royal Melbourne and Royal Hobart

  • Region:

    100% Five Ashes Vineyard, Margaret River

  • Colour:

    Bright pale straw

  • Bouquet:

    Lifted passionfruit, nectarine and citrus blossom combine to give a fresh and vibrant aromatic profile.

  • Palate:

    The palate is fresh and light, but still shows great depth of stonefruit and
    citrus flavours. 5% barrel fermentation and light lees contact has given the wine a lick of creaminess that combined with the fresh natural acidity gives a wine of impeccable balance.
