Sauvignon Blanc

The appeal of Sauvignon Blanc never seems to fade. Its intense aromatics and range of fresh, fruity/herbaceous flavours enhanced by crisp acid have made it a favourite. One of the main varieties of the Loire Valley, Graves (Bordeaux), New Zealand and now Australia, Sauvignon Blanc was not much considered until Sancerre and Pouilly Fume were 'discovered' in Paris in the 1960s. In the 1990s, 'Savvies' from New Zealand rose to fame, with pungent but very affordable examples. Browse our top rated Sauvignon Blanc wines here.

    The fruit for this wine was machine harvested at night or in the cool of the morning and immediately crushed and pressed. The juice was then fermented with a variety of aromatic yeast strains in stainless steel tanks - the sole aim being to reflect and preserve the flavours and aromas grown in the vineyard. 5% of the juice was fermented with a non-saccharomyces yeast and 1% was barrel fermented. After fermentation, the wine was kept in contact with the lees for three months. This classic technique enhances creaminess and integrates flavours.
    Brilliant water like core with highlights of green around the edges. Jumping out of the glass are intense gooseberry, green apple and passionfruit scents which are intertwined with herbaceous grassy characters and flinty mineral notes. Scrumptious passionfruit and green apple flavours have a fresh crunchy feel with some grassy gooseberry and flinty mineral elements lying underneath. Excellent concentration and drive with crisp acidity and a long racy finish.

    Pascal Cotat is one of the leading domaines of Sancerre, producing a traditional style of wines aged in oak. Officially formed in the 1990's following the split of the family holdings, the vineyards have been tended by them since the 1947. Located in the western portion of the Sancerre appellation, Chavignol has a unique type of soil called, in French, “terres blanches.” The region is essentially a chalk plateau, like that found in Chablis, with clay and limestone soils. These are wines that can age for decades effortlessly, and that marry a plush richness with a laser-like cut and energy.

    Monts Damnés is one of Chavignol’s finest vineyards where the subsoil is pure chalk with thin clay and limestone topsoil. Average age of the Pascal Cotat plot is 30 plus years.

    Some of Pascal Cotat’s oldest vines are in La Grande Cote, with age of vines over 60 years old. The Cotat cousins both own La Grande Cote outright, so consider this plot the family monopole. This small two-acre vineyard is steeply sloped facing north and has clay-rich soils granting Sauvignon Blanc lush, supple flavours with a bracing vein of citrus-inspired acidity.

    This is only the second 2023 vintage I have tasted in bottle—perhaps not relevant, but it's an indicator that the year is moving on with pace. Leading with juniper and cassis, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is fresh and pert, with bright fruit and fine, chalky phenolics. I really like this wine, but then again, everyone in Australia really likes this wine. Every single year it delivers this experience of reliably good drinking. Famous for a reason. 12.% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2023-2026.

    Cold-settled for 2 months, a technique developed by Brian Croser, but rarely duplicated. Fermentation in used 600L demi-muids, then matured on full lees for 8 months. The result is very complex, but the fruit is undaunted, with layers of lemon curd, citrus and a whisper of honey. Drink by 2025.

    Serious sauv blanc that’s seriously good, but not as you know it. Wild fermentation in French oak foudres and puncheons with some skin contact. The result is a structured, savoury wine with an absence of overt tropical flavours – very pleasing as a result. Instead, phenolics add shape and mouthfeel while textural talc-like acidity ensures this remains refreshing. It is complex, flavoursome and moreish. Drink by 2028.

Sauvignon Blanc: The New Zealand Experience.

While Sauvignon Blanc's reputation was forged in the upper Loire, nowadays the world's most frequently purchased examples are grown a world away: New Zealand is particularly suited to the variety. Within twenty years Marlborough has gone from producing no wine at all, to being synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc. Here the synergy of very cool temperatures and intense sunlight coupled with meager rainfall creates an ideal terroir. In Australia, cooler climes like the Adelaide Hills, Yarra Valley and Tasmania contend in the quality stakes. Further afield, Western Australia has developed its own refreshing style, blending Semillon with Sauvignon Blanc.

The beauty of Sauvignon Blanc is that it can do well in many climates, ripening in a variety of ways to produce very different wines. Picked early it possesses profound grassy, capsicum, asparagus notes. A little riper, gooseberry and passion fruit emerge; later again, riper tropical fruits; and lastly under the influence of 'botrytis', it reveals its rich, luscious, honeyed dimensions as Sauternes. Barrel-fermentation, although not commonly used compared to Chardonnay, can also modify Sauvignon Blanc's aroma, adding texture and complexity.
