Starvedog Lane Sauvignon Blanc 2002

The wines of Starvedog Lane are about style an evolutionary new style. Hip and Funky. Slippery. Sensuous. Powerful but fine. One of a kind. This philosophy was conceived in France and created in the Adelaide Hills; yet the wines are neither European nor Australian in style, rather the best of both worlds. The wines have the structure and finesse of Europe's best, complemented by what Australia does best intense fruit flavors and spice.

Starvedog Lane wines are produced from fruit sourced in the Adelaide Hills, which stretches from Clarendon to McLaren Vale and up to Eden Valley. Adelaide Hills is rightfully regarded as one of Australia's premier cool climate grape growing regions.

"Very pale, bright green. Intensely aromatic, penetrating aromas of passionfruit, gooseberry and cassis, complicated by a hint of sweatiness and zesty undertones of minerals and citrus. Vibrant and refreshing, bursting the entire length of its racy palate with pristine, pure varietal fruit tightly wrapped by crystalline acids and lingering mineral flavors. Uncommonly good for Australian sauvignon blanc..."
