WINE REGION:
South Australia
From juicy, full-bodied Shiraz and bold Rhône-style blends to deliciously buttery, oak-touched Chardonnay and surprisingly elegant Rieslings, South Australia is renowned for its wide array of crowd-pleasing wines. The key is the state's diverse geography and climate. With hot, dry regions like Riverland and cool, coastal areas like the Adelaide Hills, winemakers have an incredible range of grapes and styles at their disposal. South Australia is responsible for more than half of Australia's total wine production and makes some of the country's most prominent wine labels. It is also home to world-famous regions like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley.

TASTING NOTES:
Passionfruit
Pineapple
Melon
Sauvignon Blanc showcases its 65 percent majority with perfumed aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit, and lime. This carries over to the palate, where pineapple notes are present. The wine’s rich texture and weight are thanks to 35 percent Sémillon, adding a ripe melon characteristic to a lingering finish.
