Bright and appealing in a clear, lightweight bottle, the 2023 Blanc & Blanc is floral and heady with aromas of passionfruit, lemon zest and grass verge. This blend of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (AKA Moscato Bianco, grown in the Barossa) and 15% Sauvignon Blanc (AKA Savvy B, from the Adelaide Hills) is juicy and appealing, with generous palate weight and fruitiness from a smattering of residual sugar – hence the lower alcohol of 11%. Chill it, pour it and smash it – the perfect fun white to start off any springtime gathering.
