Super fresh and vibrant, this Sauv Blanc from Margaret River really delivers. Think zesty grapefruit, lime, and guava layered with floral notes like jasmine and a hint of spice—kind of like cardamom and almond. There’s a cool ocean-breeze vibe on the finish, with salty acidity and great texture (thanks to a bit of old barrel aging). It’s bright, crisp, and seriously refreshing now, but has the structure to age a bit too.

Very minerally and aromatic, with candied lemon zest, guavas and gun smoke on the nose. The palate is light- to medium-bodied with electric acidity, underlying power and notes of fresh pineapple, lemon peel and river stones. Fresh and energetic. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

An inviting and incredibly buoyant palate bursts with energy and fruit concentration. A myriad of lime zest, citrus, lemon sherbet and lychees offer direction, and combined with laced acidity, create the corridor with gentle layers on the mid-palate. The lingering finish is encased with delicate textures.

Vibrancy and vitality are the hallmarks here. Lemon meets lime and guava while quince sits alongside. Lemon myrtle, Wattyl and cardamom pod provide lift and perfume. Delicate layers of almond and a touch a cedar offer beautiful complexity.
