So you think you don't like Sauvignon Blanc
Think you don't like Sauvignon Blanc? Think again.
Few grape varieties have earned such a polarising reputation as Sauvignon Blanc. Long labelled as too grassy, too tropical or simply too loud, Sauvignon Blanc might just be the grape wine lovers love to hate. Yet beyond its tarnished reputation lies a far more nuanced reality. From its ancestral land in France to modern takes in the lofty Adelaide Hills, at its best, Sauvignon Blanc is fresh, refined and compellingly complex. Three bottles to sway even the greatest of sceptics.

This is the wine you want to hand after rolling out of bed from a nap on holiday, or chilled ready to crack on whim at a rogue breakfast celebration.

A Sauvignon Blanc that leans into its place rather than the stereotype. From a tucked-away, southwest-facing slope in Moonambel, this Latta release draws its shape from shattered quartz and ironstone soils and old vines planted in the mid ’70s.Fermented wild in Austrian oak and left on full lees for a year (no stirring, no fuss), it’s all about structure and purity. Think bright citrus and green apple, a flash of white peach, a hint of herbs — wrapped around saline acidit. Not shouty Sauv. Just very, very good.

Sauvignon Blanc is so back, and this charmer from Gentle Folk is a pure expression of the Adelaide Hills. Drawn from simply superb vineyards in the heart of Piccadilly and Balhannah, this is barrel-fermented and undergoes full malolactic fermentation. Bright but subtly creamy, the fruit is pressed as whole clusters to tank overnight, then racked to neutral French barriques and hogsheads. Citrus, orchard fruits, a recipe for dreamy days.
It’s had a rough run. Too grassy. Too tropical. Too loud. Savvy B became the wine everyone thinks they’ve already made up their mind about.
