2023 Sauvignon Blanc | Extended Time On Lees - SOLD OUT Trophy 🏆 Winner best sparkling of the 2021 Adelaide Hills Wine Show honeydew melon and guava fruitThe wine spends 15 months on its lees, which is, as per the name, quite extended! Lots of typical passionfruit, cut grass, cucumber and tonic water characters but with chalky texture, some gentle almond savouriness and licks of ginger and woody spice lending additional character. Amongst all this, crisp freshness and limey tang. Perhaps a touch diffuse in character overall, but a quietly complex wine nonetheless. Tasting notes by Mike Bennie Halliday
