2021 Heirloom Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, Adelaide Hills

 Pale gold and white-gold; star bright; a hint of viscosity spells purity and intensity. Freshly zested citrus peel of myriad varieties, but the citrus paradisi feature well: star ruby, Marsh's seedless, pomelo, dwarf red grapefruit.

There's a strong background of lemon and lime, to boot, with subtle support coming around the olfactory edges from sauvignon blanc's other usual suspects: the herbaceousness of freshly cut lawn, lantana, gooseberry and a far-off blackcurrant. The citrus and herbaceous elements orbit around a finely spun core of concentrated fruit power.

This light-speed white wine has the full panoply of the variety's flavour: including the outer-circling asteroids of apple and green bean, passionfruit, melons and green capsicum.
