Awarded the best Sauvignon Blanc made in Australia...three times in a row. Our Sauvignon Blanc was hand-picked at perfect flavour ripeness in mid-March. Severe bunch thinning kept yields low, concentrating flavour. Part of the fruit was whole bunch pressed and fermented in large oak foudres and demi-muids (48%), with the balance of the fruit being crushed and destemmed before fermentation at cold temperatures in stainless steel (52%). The Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc has not been through malolactic fermentation and the different components were blended late December 2023 before being bottled late-January 2024 following a light filtration.

About the wine
Tasting notes
Clear pale gold with a nose full of white florals, dried ginger, cape gooseberry, salted lime, pear, underripe pineapple, honeydew, white stonefruit, sweet peas, sugar coated almonds, white pepper and crushed gravel.In the mouth it’s fine boned, with good concentration, impeccable balance and a core of pure and floral-edged fruit. Flavours echo the nose, along with spearmint, gentle passionfruit/feijoa and hints of cassis, driven by brilliant acidity and textured with the finest of gravelly tannins. It moves effortlessly through to a long, delicate tail that whispers tropicals and feels like home. Such a pretty release

Sauvignon Blanc
A crisp, textural and beautifully expressive white wine that grows in almost every wine growing country across the world. In the hands of a great winemaker, Sauvignon Blanc can rival the very best white wines of the world with its complex aromas and flavours that you won't find in other white varieties. The expressions from Sancerre and Bordeaux set the benchmark the world over, using oak as a medium for body and spice, and in great Sauvignon Blanc you'll find notes of white florals, gentle herbals, creme fraiche, cassis, melon, complex citrus, pear, gooseberry, vanilla, cashew and hints of passionfruit.
