Review

It shouldn’t be possible.  This is a wine with all the flavour and depth of a full-alcohol Sauvignon but with only 9% alcohol. We all know that usually means increased sweetness and/or a watery taste.  This is on a different level: the makers harvest the grapes earlier in the summer when their sugar levels are naturally lower, which also means the alcohol level is lower. it is simply a very good sauvignon, no compromise, no loss of flavour. It has all the classic Sauvignon acidity, with notes of passion fruit and grapefruit mellowing to a sherbet lemon and mango finish.  It’s fabulously drinkable and a perfect sauvignon.  Huge credit to Brancott to pulling this off. And absolutely deserves all the medals. 

Makers Notes

Bursting with pink grapefruit and passionfruit flavours with hints of sweet snow pea, this Sauvignon Blanc is full of flavour and naturally low in alcohol.  

Tasting Notes

  • Colour: Very pale
  • Nose:  Acidic passion
  • Taste: Classic sharp Sauvignon, bursting with notes of lemon and passion fruit
