The Story

Dedicated to one of our respected long-lerm growers and friends, the Kraft Sauvignon Blanc is named after Dennis and Val Kraft. The fruit for our Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the Adelaide Hills region renowned for producing incredibly expressive and refined fruit. The 2017 vintage saw a cool and wet December, followed by January and February with warmer conditions, resulting in a very late vintage. Extended hang time on the vine combining w...

Written Notes

The 2017 Kraft Sauvignon Blanc is a pristine and pure example of Sauvignon Blanc from the renowned Adelaide Hills region. Naturally pale in colour, this wine is intensely perfumed with aromas of passionfruit and guava; sweet floral top-notes of hibiscus, wild orchid and passionflower; a generous herbaceous aspect evocative of kaffir lime leaf, snow pea tendrils and Vietnamese mint and a saline minerality reminiscent of salt-crusted oyster shells and sea spray. The palate is vibrant yet super crisp and structured with racy natural acidity. The sweet tropical flavours of passionfruit and guava are complemented by the zing of fresh lime and the exotic accents of lychee and sweet Lao basil. The crisp minerally palate adds elegance and a sophisticated air to this classic cool-climate Savvy. Drink now or cellar for up to two years. A perfect match with fresh Asian cuisine dishes, such as green papaya salad or spicy chicken pad thai.
