2024 Ashbrook Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Margaret River

Ashbrook Estate Sauvignon Blanc from Margaret River is a crisp, vibrant white that captures the fresh, coastal energy of one of Australia’s most celebrated wine regions. A family-owned and operated estate since 1975, Ashbrook is one of the oldest wineries in Margaret River and has quietly built a reputation for crafting elegant, estate-grown wines with a strong sense of place. Winemaker Catherine Edwards, who continues the family legacy, focuses on minimal intervention and gentle handling in the winery to let the fruit speak for itself.

Sauvignon Blanc thrives in Margaret River’s Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool ocean breezes. The fruit is picked in the cool of the morning to preserve freshness, then fermented in stainless steel to retain its pure aromatics and zesty acidity.

Aromatically, it jumps out of the glass with notes of passionfruit, lemon zest, green apple, and freshly cut herbs. There’s a touch of tropical guava and a subtle mineral edge that gives it lift. On the palate, it’s bright and juicy with a dry, clean finish. The citrus and crunchy orchard fruit flavours are lively, with a saline snap that makes it supremely refreshing.

It’s a natural match for freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, or a simple goat cheese salad. But it’s also just as satisfying as a solo sipper on a sunny afternoon. Pure, focused, and a great example of why Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc continues to impress those in the know.
