Punchy is the word chosen by Shaw + Smith and, as usual, it’s spot on for the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc. Yellow passionfruit, grapefruit skin and guava meets shiso leaf, bitter melon and homemade lemonade. There is a gentleness to the undulation of acidity which continues to roll on and on. It’s just like that fresh squeeze of lemon that just makes almost everything better in the culinary world. A lovely elegant vintage of this iconic Australian Sauvignon Blanc.
