The Adelaide Hills, with its high altitude and cool climate, is the natural home for Sauvignon Blanc in Australia, and when some mates up there offered us an outstanding parcel of fruit from the 2009 vintage, we just had to take it on.

The nose is expressive, with tropical fruit characters coming to the fore.... passionfruit, gooseberry, rockmelon and nettles, complemented by the trademark Teusner creaminess and funky, sweaty, varietal complexity.

The tropical fruit characters flow seamlessly over onto the palate which is vibrant, keenly focused and zesty with a lovely mid-palate weight. The finish is long and zippy with a lip-smacking, limey acidity.

Drink now and up to 2 years from vintage.
