Winemaker Notes
Bouquet: Passion fruit and pineapple are the characters that immediately impact on the nose. Citrus fruits, lemon and lime also come to mind, as the palalte will show.
Palate: We consider our Sauvignon blanc shows its best characters as a crisp, clean wine and this is a wonderful example of that style. Yet the wine has plenty of flavour to match the clean entry on the palate with lemon, lime and a squeeze of passion fruit. There's plenty of zesty primary fruit and a clean finish helped by the natural acidity of this vintage.

The Fox Creek story began when a small group of doctors and their wives decided to pursue a lifelong passion – creating wine from bare earth and sunshine. The earth was found at McLaren Vale, one of South Australia’s premier wine regions, globally renowned for its Shiraz. The sunshine was free.
Fox Creek’s flagship wine was the 1994 Shiraz, which won the Trophy for the best wine at the McLaren Vale Wine Show in 1995. Fox Creek has subsequently won this award in 1998 and 2003 and successive vintages of this wine, now called the Reserve Shiraz, have achieved international acclaim. As Fox Creek’s success continues, many of the wines have been recognised with trophies and medals from national and international shows. The range of wines made by Fox Creek has gradually increased to seventeen.
