Aylesbury Estate Waterfall Gully Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Even given the fact that winemakers across the land share much with politicians in terms of exaggeration, when they start comparing a vintage in the West with the magnificent 2023 harvest and the arguably equally superb 2018, then it is certainly time to at least take a good look. We are hearing exactly this about 2025 and looking at a young Sauvignon Blanc which has enjoyed no artifice at all, is not a bad way of seeing just what is on offer. Nowhere to hide, as they say in the classics. Very pale lemon in colour, the nose gives us punchy but rather typical Sauvignon Blanc aromas with dried herbs, blackcurrant leaves, nettles and gooseberries. A supple texture with attractive focus, there is crunchy acidity evident. The wine has good length and really is quite a classic Savvy. Enjoy over the next two years.
