Sidewood Sauvignon Blanc 2025

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. (Tony Love,winepilot.com,Aug. 2025)
