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.

The 2023 Art Series Sauvignon Blanc leads with gooseberry, kiwi fruit, green apple, cassis (something jubey), white strawberry and juniper. In the mouth, the wine is concentrated, saline, textured and long. This is routinely an impressive wine, as it offers elegant drinking in the future as well as today. 2023 was a superb (I repeat, superb) vintage in Margaret River, and this is testament to the restraint of the season that birthed it. Lovely. A portion of this wine is routinely matured in old Bordelais barrels, I assume this has happened again in 2023, and is responsible for some of the textural complexity in the mouth. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Good mid-weighted sauvignon that is not afraid to bare depth, intensity of flavor and texture. Good. Aromas of lemon balm, curry leaf and green and yellow plum, with a spurt of greengage across a persuasive finish that is brisk, sure, but also attractively oily and savory. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Intense aromas of jasmine, kaffir, daisy flowers and fennel greet the nose, alongside a tapestry of lemon, lime, black pastille and guava across the fruit spectrum. Elements of pistachio, blanched almonds and just a touch of cardamom provide added complexity.

Grapefruit, lemon, native lime and granita feature among a myriad of flavours and textures on the palate. The shape and frame is precise, with purity and clarity throughout. The acidity creates lively energy, then combines with an ocean spray nuance. Savoury layers run parallel to the fruits and acidity, leading to an enviably long and talc finish.
