Sidewood Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2025 6 Pack

Tony Love - Winepilot

Attention to detail is the mantra here, from start to finish. Sourced from multiple picks across two of Sidewood’s estate vineyards in the central Hills – a two week harvesting window allowing for choice in ripeness and across the aromatic and flavour spectrum. Begins with a vibrant tropical fruit salad note, squeezed with lime juice, covering the exotic to the citrus in textbook fashion, nose and palate in sync. It’s then that the mouthfeel and textural elements lift their game, mouthwatering sensations rising as tempered acidity and minerally, chalky layering drive a long, flavourful finish – with a touch of white pepper for good measure. Enjoy this as an easygoing splash, or more seriously at the table with seafood, sauced well, and even better with Asian spices. Delish no matter when you serve it.

Katrina Butler - Halliday Wine Companion

The first of the 2025 vintage, bottled from the notably dry growing season. A very elegant and sincere expression of sauvignon blanc abounds from the glass, with aromas of delicate white florals, wafts of honeysuckle, morning dew atop blades of grass, the freshness clear and abundant. A little lychee and pineapple, too. Indeed, a bit going on. The palate drives a long line of citrus, grapefruit and fingerlime right through to the ends. This is sauvignon blanc for sunshine sipping.

It's fabulously aromatic on the nose with notes of grapefruit, crunchy apple, green rockmelon, and kaffir lime. The palate displays pristine fruit flavours with fine texture and vibrant acidity, making it mouth-watering and lingering.

Gary Walsh - The Wine Front

A very dry vintage in the Hills. I visited the area in January, and gee it was so brown, where normally it’s green. Anyway. A little bit sweaty and pungent. Passionfruit pith, green capsicum, grapefruit and a tomato plant perfume. No mistaking it for Sauvignon Blanc, which is something. It’s zesty, tangy and sappy, grapefruit and passionfruit, a grainy crunch to it, with a brittle finish of solid length. Not quite ripe, though does have a certain overt varietal charm. Adelaide Hills Sauvignon is normally a little finer, though this leans into an almost commercial Marlborough style, and some may well love it for that.
