A hallmark Sauvignon Blanc, Aussie style. This isn't your sweet, tropical fruit juice yet a Sauvignon Blanc that is meant for hot days and poolside salads. The first thing that you notice is the softer acid structure which works nicely alongside the tropical fruit notes of pineapple and guava with apple and lemon tones. There is a tinge of green herbs and mineral drive that lingers nicely.

Whicher Ridge is located in the seaside town of Busselton, two and a half hours drive from Perth, along the stunning Geographe Bay. Aside from extremely long jetties and the ideally flat but still painful Ironman course, Busselton is part of the emerging wine region of Geographe. The region gets its name from the ship that Nicolas Baudin sailed on when he was mapping the coastline of Australia. Neil and Cathy Howard are the delightful team that run Whicher Ridge with a focus on classic West Aussie varieties like Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Both have many years of experience working across Australia in the wine industry, before coming to the conclusion that Western Australia is a great place to call home and settling on their ideal vineyard in 2003. The winery sources fruit from their estate, as well as from Margaret River and Great Southern, with their flagship wines being Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and a complex Sauvignon Blanc.
