Details
A soft, tropical expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Coonawarra heartland. Not here the shrill grassiness of other Savvy Bees - instead revel in the juicy fruit sensations of this youthful wine. Look for melon, pear and peach flavours, with well-balanced acidity and a gentle flow to it. Easy.

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: The first Friday in May is celebrated as International Sauvignon Blanc Day! Like we needed another excuse...

Pairing guide
With its bright, fresh character and delicious flavour profile, this beautiful Sauvignon Blanc is a stunning option for beach barbecues, light lunches and dinner parties alike. It’s a great option for green vegetable dishes - especially those featuring peas, asparagus and kale - as well as for white fish recipes, seared or grilled seafood, and spicy Asian noodle salads with chicken, ginger and shredded greens. Ingredients like white miso, tahini and citrus zest will also work brilliantly with this bottle.

Wine region
Coonawarra, Australia
Coonawarra is in the southeastern corner of South Australia, located in the Limestone Coast of South Australia, about 300 km southeast of Adelaide. The region experiences a maritime influence due to the upwelling of cold ocean currents. The main varieties grown in the region are Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, and Chardonnay. Here you can find the legendary terra rossa soil, with its thin iron-oxide-based topsoil over limestone, giving it that unmistakable reddish hue. This soil type is believed to be a major contributing factor to the robust character of the wines. The Coonawarra wine region stretches about 15 km, with more than 50 wineries. Penfolds, Wynns, Balnaves, Rymil and Katnook Estate are among the most notable and historic in the region. Each of them produces highly sought Cabernet Sauvignon that is medium to full-bodied, with brood notes of cassis, blackberry, plum and dark cherry flavours. Structured with firm but plush tannins, the very best of them cellar gracefully for decades.
