Hewitson LuLu Sauvignon Blanc 2023

The 2023 vintage saw fruit from high altitude Adelaide Hills vineyards harvested several weeks later than usual, all contributing to the elegance and freshness of the wine. Free run juice only, and from a single vineyard, this was bottled as soon as it was settled in stainless steel tanks – the team have also moved to lightweight bottles. A very pale lemon hue. There are good aromatics here. Some appealing gooseberry notes but also juicy, tropical touches, especially passionfruit. Attractive, still very young and with the hint of a chalky, minerally backing supported by a fine line of razor-sharp acidity with decent length. Enjoy now and over the next three years.
