MD Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Cooler and windier conditions during Spring meant lower crop levels, keeping fruit thinning to a minimum. The weather gods then handed us the opposite during Summer, with a warm and settled state prevailing, so this smaller crop was able to mature beautifully. Autumn was similarly favourable, allowing each variety to be picked at its optimum ripeness. Our 2024 harvest saw smaller yields across the board, but as a result we were blessed with intense fruit flavour and concentration, delivering some outstanding wines.

With its pale lemon sheen, the nose thrills the senses with a barrage of grapefruit, lemon grass, jalapeno and passionfruit, framed with snippets of citrus blossom and crushed thyme. As the volley subsides, it exposes a steely, mineral underbelly. The palate is tightly coiled, with a zesty and energetic mouthfeel, displaying vibrant acidity that flows through the mouth, delivering a lengthy, salivating climax.
