2025 Sidewood Sauvignon Blanc
Mouth watering passionfruit, lime and green apple fruits with refreshing acidity and a long racy finish.
Brilliant water like colour with green tinged edges. Pungent gooseberry, passionfruit and green apple aromas mix with some delicate herbaceous grassy notes and a subtle minerality. Mouth watering passionfruit, lime and green apple fruits overlay a subtle herbaceous gooseberry and mineral back drop. Refreshingly crisp acidity with a long racy finish.
Drink over the next year.
Alc. 12.5%

The first of the 2025 vintage, bottled from the notably dry growing season. A very elegant and sincere expression of sauvignon blanc abounds from the glass, with aromas of delicate white florals, wafts of honeysuckle, morning dew atop blades of grass, the freshness clear and abundant. A little lychee and pineapple, too. Indeed, a bit going on. The palate drives a long line of citrus, grapefruit and finger lime right through to the ends. This is sauvignon blanc for sunshine sipping. Drink by 2028.

Attention to detail is the mantra here, from start to finish. Sourced from multiple picks across two of Sidewood’s estate vineyards in the central Hills – a two week harvesting window allowing for choice in ripeness and across the aromatic and flavour spectrum. Begins with a vibrant tropical fruit salad note, squeezed with lime juice, covering the exotic to the citrus in textbook fashion, nose and palate in sync. It’s then that the mouthfeel and textural elements lift their game, mouthwatering sensations rising as tempered acidity and minerally, chalky layering drive a long, flavourful finish – with a touch of white pepper for good measure. Enjoy this as an easygoing splash, or more seriously at the table with seafood, sauced well, and even better with Asian spices. Delish no matter when you serve it.
