Polished, with poached pear, lemon curd and mango on a supple, creamy frame, showing a touch of wild fennel. Details of orange blossoms, matcha green tea and dried ginger linger on the long, fresh and juicy finish. Drink now. 2,700 cases made.

A snappy, zesty, medium-bodied wine with stony, flinty aromas, lively lemon and grapefruit pith flavors and great acidity that keeps it fresh. Fermented in neutral French oak barrels and aged on the lees for six months before bottling. Drink now.

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc was matured for five months in used French oak. It opens with a touch of sulfury reduction that gives way with time to peach, lychee, kiwi, jasmine and tarragon aromas. The light-bodied palate is flavorful with exotic, spicy fruit. Its rounded texture is balanced by tangy acidity, and it has a flavorful finish. 2,700 cases produced.

Potent aromas of gooseberry, jalapeno and lime pith jump from the glass of this high acid Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is bracingly acidic, with pithy lemon, grapefruit and lime flavors with the heat of capsicum persisting on the finish. Lovers of New Zealand SB's will be into this.

From the hands of Colombian-born Bibiana González Rave comes this intensely aromatic and expressive Sauvignon Blanc. On the nose, the wine gives heaps of citrus, from key lime to lemon candies, stone fruit and faint aromas of cut grass. High acidity and juiciness burst from the glass, with flavours of elderflower. It is a wine that seriously over-delivers for the price.
