The cool, late season allowed fruit to ripen slowly, with parcels picked carefully at optimum ripeness over a two week period. Chilled grapes were gently pressed in our winery and underwent a long, slow, cool fermentation, maintaining the delicate flavours.

Sourced from multiple picks across two of Sidewood’s estate vineyards in the central Hills – a two week harvesting window allowing for choice in ripeness and across the aromatic and flavour spectrum. Begins with a vibrant tropical fruit salad note, squeezed with lime juice, covering the exotic to the citrus in textbook fashion, nose and palate in sync. It’s then that the mouthfeel and textural elements lift their game, mouth watering sensations rising as tempered acidity and minerally, chalky layering drive a long, flavourful finish – with a touch of white pepper for good measure. Enjoy this as an easygoing splash, or more seriously at the table with seafood, sauced well, and even better with Asian spices. Delish no matter when you serve it.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points | \u003c\/strong\u003eJames Halliday's Wine Companion 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eThe first of the 2025 vintage, bottled from the notably dry growing season. A very elegant and sincere expression of sauvignon blanc abounds from the glass, with aromas of delicate white florals, wafts of honeysuckle, morning dew atop blades of grass, the freshness clear and abundant. A little lychee and pineapple, too. Indeed, a bit going on. The palate drives a long line of citrus, grapefruit and finger lime right through to the ends.
