Details
This is a fresh and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc with trademark tropical fruit tones with green capsicum and celery lurking underneath. The palate hits the spot with some bright passionfruit and crunchy acidity, perfect for any occasion.
Origin: Likely France, but unconfirmed. Possibly a wild grape variety that was indigenous to multiple areas in slightly different forms. Mainly Grown In: France, New Zealand, Italy, Chile, USA, South Africa and Australia. Key Facts: If you’re a fan of a lime twist in your drinks, the smell of fresh-cut grass in the morning, and have been told you are intense or that "you sure stand out in a crowd", well, you’ve met your match. Sauvignon Blanc is an all-dials-at-max kind of grape, which means it's going to fist pump your senses with its intense (and sometimes pungent) aromas, mouth-watering freshness and a cleansing herbaceous character. As one of the most planted white grapes in the world, it’s no wonder it has claimed hearts in various styles; It can be lean and zesty when it’s from cooler climates and fuller and more tropical when grown in warmer ones. Fun Fact: In French, Sauvignon means "wild". Some say this reflects the wild nature of the Sauvignon blanc grape vine, which is quite vigorous and can grow out of control if not monitored by vineyard workers.

Pairing guide
Bright, zesty, and packed full of character, this spritely Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect antidote to any dull mealtime. It’s fabulously food-friendly, and is absolutely ideal for matching with dishes of green vegetables (especially green beans, asparagus, and snow peas), silky white fish fillets, and creamy goat’s cheese or a funky camembert. Most chicken and pork dishes will do the job very nicely, and it’s especially delicious with shellfish like clams and mussels.

Great Southern, Australia
Get ready to swirl, sniff, and sip your way through Western Australia's largest wine region - the Great Southern! Stretching from the coastal town of Albany to the scenic hamlet of Denmark to the south, this vast region is known for its world-class wine. Within the Great Southern, you will find five sub-regions, with Frankland River and Mount Barker being arguably the most noteworthy. But the Great Southern isn't just about the grapes - the area's family-owned wineries are passionate about their craft, using traditional techniques and the region's mineral-rich soils to create wine bursting with flavour. It is hard to pigeonhole the region in terms of grape varieties, Riesling does particularly well here as does Pinot Noir and Shiraz amongst others. So grab your corkscrew and get ready to explore the Great Southern - the ultimate destination for wine lovers!
