2025 Josef Chromy Sauvignon Blanc, Northern Tasmania

Josef Chromy Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, cool climate take on the variety that shows a more restrained and refined side of Sauvignon Blanc. Grown in Northern Tasmania, primarily around the Tamar Valley, the vineyards benefit from long daylight hours, cool nights and a slow, even ripening season. This climate preserves natural acidity and aromatic detail, delivering freshness without the aggressive edge sometimes found in warmer regions.

The Josef Chromy estate was established in the early 2000s and has become one of Tasmania’s most reliable producers, built on a philosophy of balance, purity and regional expression. Sauvignon Blanc plays a supporting but important role in the range, made in a clean, precise style that allows the fruit and site to speak clearly.

In the glass, the wine is bright and inviting. Lime, green apple and citrus blossom are layered with subtle herbal notes and a gentle mineral edge. The palate is fresh and lively, with zesty acidity carrying the fruit through to a clean, dry finish. It feels energetic and refreshing, but never sharp or over the top.

This is an easy wine to enjoy with food. It pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, salads, goat’s cheese or lighter vegetable dishes. Best enjoyed young for its vibrancy, though it will hold well over the short term. A polished, understated Tasmanian Sauvignon Blanc that favours elegance over intensity.
