Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Lightly grippy Sauvignon with a real wild side. This is definitely not your run of the mill Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc and that’s a good thing. Aromas of lemon balm, nectarines, and basil-like tones are at the forefront with lingering green pear on the back end. The wine is more herbal on the palate, but by no means green, with a cascading fruity side that again reaches into the apple/pear section of the supermarket. There is a great deal of complexity here that really shows with some air all leading to a deeply penetrating and saline-doused finish.

Professional Ratings

    A complex and gently savory edge here, this has aromas of lemon peel, light pastry and some grassy notes, as well as melon and subtle spices. The palate holds a sleekly fresh edge with a soft, fluid texture and fresh, lively acidity underpinning sliced pear, lime and apple flavors.

Worlds Apart Wines, Australia
Louis Schofield spent a decade working in fine wine retail and as a sommelier at some of the world’s best restaurants. He was happy in that world; winemaking was never part of his plan. Indeed, it’s one thing to love wine, and another thing entirely to make it, but training under Taras Ochota was a surefire choice. Worlds Apart Wines was launched in 2017 by Louis and his fiancé, Hannah Jeffrey, with the simple goal of making thoughtful wine that tastes good. Their wines would technically be considered natural, with no additives but minimal sulfur, but they don’t get hung up on dogma. Louis’s makes light to medium bodied wines from Southern Australia, inspired by great Burgundies and “cult producers” from Europe and Australia. The handful of varieties he works with, ranging from Nero d’Avola to Riesling, allows for some insurance in the event of bushfires, an all-too-common occurrences these days, and it gives Louis many different canvases on which to paint. His wines represent the best of Australia’s lighter, easy-drinking sippers.

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.

A narrow band of hills and valleys east of the city of Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills region is a diverse landscape featuring a variety of microclimates. In general it is moderate with high-altitude areas cooler and wetter compared to its warmer, lower areas.

Piccadilly Valley, the part of Adelaide Hills closest to the city, was first staked out by a grower named Brian Croser, in the 1970s for a cool spot to grow Chardonnay, then uncommon in Australia. Today a good amount of the Chardonnay goes to winemakers outside of the region.

Producers here experiment with other cool-climate loving aromatic varieties like Pinot Gris, Viognier and Riesling. Charming sparkling wine is also possible. On its north side, lower, west-facing slopes make full-bodied Shiraz.
