This isn't your NZ Savvy B, this is a complex and interesting Sauvignon Blanc, made with care and attention to detail. With a bouquet more commonly found in Chardonnay, this wine shows flinty and buttery notes, with celery leaf and dried herbs lingering in the background. The palate opens up with some buttery popcorn and a touch of pineapple, and lemon, with the end result being a well-made and delicious wine.

For those who have spent a full weekend sitting on the couch with a few tinnies watching cars fly up and down hills with names like Skaife, Brock and Lowndes dominating Bathurst, it may be a surprise to you that on this same hallowed turf sit some incredibly good vines that produce equally incredible wine. Enter the Renzaglia family into the frame, where for years they have been plugging away quietly to produce some of the finest Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon around. Mark and Sandy Renzaglia had their first start in the world of wine when, in 1982, Mark’s parents planted vines in Illinois, USA, which at the time was a dry zone, so you weren’t permitted to make alcohol. Luckily, Sandy, being an Aussie, and Mark, who set up in Australia, planted their first vines in 1997 outside Bathurst. Today, their son, Sam, has brought in some flair with the Wambuul Valley range alongside the playful Di Renzo series, which both sit alongside the iconic ‘Bella Luna’ series. The Renzaglia family also pays respects to traditional landowners and the land itself through their vineyard management and bottle messaging.
