Winemaker Notes
Bright and clear with a faint green hue. Aromas of apple, passionfruit and lychee precede a palate that flows from these and adds a delicate gooseberry flavor to the mix in a refreshingly crisp wine.
Pair with fish, chicken and salads.

The nose is scented with lime and grapefruit, and a hint of white flowers. Jasmine sings on the palate, with lightly lilting notes of apple and white melon.

Naturalis is produced by the Angove family, who have been making wine for 135 years over five generations. As the largest producers of organic wines in Australia, they are committed to sustainability in both the vineyards and in winemaking practices to ensure their legacy as environmental stewards lives on for future generations.
Grapes sourced for this wine are grown in our Certified Organic Nanya Vineyard near Paringa, South Australia and a small certified organic vineyard on the outskirts of McLaren Vale township. The sandy loam over limestone soils, abundant sunshine, warm days and cool nights of Paringa provide ideal conditions for nurturing flavor packed organic grapes whilst the McLaren Vale vineyard adds depth and richness. We view the vineyard as more than just the source of our grapes. It is a holistic system of interconnected organic prosperity. The vine is important, but it is the health of the entire environment that provides the best tasting grapes.
At no stage during the grape growing and winemaking of Naturalis wines have we used any synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers or inputs of any kind. Everything we use comes from nature, pure and clean, and all wines are vegan friendly, gluten-free and non-GMO.
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.
South Australia is the historic heart of Australian wine, a great wine capital of the world, and home to some of the most famous regions.
