Thompson Estate Four Chambers Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Four Chambers may seem a pleasant, if innocuous name for a range of wines, but it relates back to the Estate’s founder’s prior history as a cardiologist, which does make it seem a touch more macabre. Still, they say wine is good for the heart (this week, at least – next week it will have changed and then changed back the week after). I digress. Pale lemon in colour, this is a Savvy very much from the wildly aromatic end of the spectrum, offering ripe tropical notes with passionfruit and gooseberries to the fore. There is a hint of citrus, lychee and nettles in the background. These flavours continue on to the palate, which has bright acidity and decent length. Those who enjoy the tropical style of Sauvignon Blanc will adore this. Now for three years.
