“Ultra-pure and refined wine; intense but elegant palate, with tangy, lemony acidity, and a lingering, dry finish.”

TIM WHITE

Must Have Wine Dozen “This just gets better and better… This wine will be perfect for summer.” 94 points

JAMES HALLIDAY

“Punchy, aromatic, gooseberry, green apple and passionfruit aromas and flavours permeate a bright, breezy and deliciously crisp wine.”

“The Adelaide Hills flagship Sauvignon Blanc has never been better than in ’05.” 5 stars.

HUON HOOKE AND RALPH KYTE-POWELL

“... the one to show those cocky Kiwis who think we can’t make a good sauv blanc in Oz. Since the initial 1989 vintage, it’s invariably been excellent.”

MAX ALLEN

“Full of typical passionfruit, green pea and cut-grass flavours, it’s deliciously juicy and tingly in the mouth.”

“Bright and juicy with a sense of refinement to the otherwise lively lime, pear and delicate herb flavours that linger nicely.”

“Martin Shaw consistently makes what well may be the best sauvignon blanc in Australia, grown at estate vineyards in the Adelaide Hills.

MATT SKINNER

“This is easily the best Sauvignon Blanc in Australia and takes its quality right up to the best their neighbours across the pond (NZ) have to offer.”
