We make our Sauvignon Blanc a bit like the French do. By putting 50% in oak barrels, we create a richer texture, a style which really suits the Yarra Valley; you’ll still taste bright, citrus-driven flavours, but with a rounder mouthfeel.
Great with green vegetables, oysters, fish, fresh herbs, mild vinaigrettes and goats cheese.
