Winemaker Notes
This wine is a very pale straw in color with a slight tinge of green. Aromas of tropical fruit salad shine through with highlights of kiwi fruit and pawpaw. A lovely spectrum of tropical and passion fruit flavors announce themselves on the palate with a fresh and clean finish.
Served perfectly with Sea Bass delicately fried in olive oil with a side salad including goat’s cheese.

Bright and lemony, this is set on a crisp, light frame, with plenty of intensity and details of lemon thyme and dried ginger.
Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.
Nestled into the tip of its southeastern coastline, Victoria is Australia’s smallest mainland state, second most populous and third largest wine producer. Victoria includes the cool regions of Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Geelong, made famous mainly by impressive Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The more inland Heathcote and Bendigo lead the way for complex and textured, full-bodied reds. Rutherglen’s fortified wines compete among the best on the planet.
