A stylish, elegant and grown-up sauvignon blanc whose intense fragrance of cassis, gooseberries and lychees reveals suggestions of creamy yeast-derived complexity and a hint of oak. It's forward and vivacious, medium-bodied and complete, delivering a lingering core of juicy flavour that moves long and pure towards a savoury and faintly saline finish, wrapped in refreshing acidity.

Ros Ritchie
Ros Ritchie was a winemaking star when I first got into wine. A genuine pioneer as a female winemaker, she has always let her own wines do the talking for her. Ros is a very talented maker of white wines, with great experience from what was once her family's property at Mansfield in Victoria's High Country. Her new wines from small sites around the Upper Goulburn and King Valley take this background into another and higher dimension of intrigue and complexity. We now see a totally professional and mature maker of wine working at a very high level indeed. There's nothing trendy or fashionable about Ros' modern wines. Instead, they deliver over and above expectations in terms of variety purity, structure and balance. Showing a thorough understanding of the international benchmarks for each wine, they're neither flashy nor showy - just great wines to enjoy.
