2025 Bannockburn Sauvignon Blanc

95 POINTS

Philip Rich - Halliday Wine Companion

Made from 0.4ha of vineyard planted in 1996 and certified organic in 2021. Matured in a combination of stainless steel and older barrels. The result is a wine that has subtle aromas of gooseberry and white pear together with a touch of fresh tomato leaf and some spice. There's heaps of flavour on the palate before it finishes refreshing and long. A delicious example to drink over the next summer or two.

James Suckling

Lovely and generous, with aromas of citrus blossoms, yellow apples, crushed stones, white flowers and mandarins. The palate is mid-weighted with a rounded texture and bright acidity, showing a nice phenolic grip and a leesy Asian pear finish. More old world than previous years, yet still very varietal.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc leads with cut grass and green apple, nashi pear and brine. In the mouth, the wine is chalky, fleshy and dry, with admirable restraint and focus; all things are in balance. This is a very good, classy wine. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Campbell Mattinson - The Wine Front

Grown on 1 acre of vineyard made up of two small parcels, both planted in 1996 and certified organic in 2021. Fermented wild in stainless steel before maturing in seasoned barrels. Texture of this wine is a treat. It just, simply, feels soft. It extends well through the finish and flavour-wise it has good intensity, but all the way along the line it feels as though it treads softly. Gooseberry, gravel, blackcurrant bud, lemongrass, lychee and florals. Everything is in order, is beautiful, and is delicious.
