Details
Early in the evening, or a little refresher after a long day, the Early Rider Sauvignon Blanc will give you everything you need. With balanced tropical fruit punch, lime tang and tinge of sour acidity this wine has a bit of everything. It's wrapped up with a fruity zest of pear and grapefruit.
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: Sauvignon Blanc has a French bestie, Semillon. They are famously blended together in the region of Bordeaux.

Pairing guide
We can’t get enough of this crisp, bright and beautifully zesty Sauvignon Blanc, which offers fantastic taste sensations alongside the variety’s signature food-friendly credentials. It’s a top match for green vegetable dishes - especially those featuring asparagus, peas and leafy greens like kale - and will also match very well with citrusy chicken dishes, fillets of white fish, simple salads and pasta recipes, and anything with plenty of aromatic herbs, ginger, chilli and lime. Delicious!

Wine region

South Australia, Australia
South Australia is a wide and varied state when it comes to wine production. From the coastal regions of Limestone Coast and McLaren Vale, to the warmer inland valleys of Barossa and Eden, to the flats of Langhorne Creek, there's a range of terroirs and temperatures across this wide brown land. As a result, wines labelled with only South Australia can display a range of flavours! The state is probably best known for Shiraz, Grenache and Cab Sav in reds, and Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay in white. Whatever your flavour, there's plenty to explore!
