Kirrihill Gleeson & Co Sauvignon Blanc 2021
- Light, aromatic
- Adelaide Hills
You might know Kirrihill from their Clare Valley wines, but this crew have the experience to look to the Adelaide Hills when sourcing fruit for sauv blanc. Seems like an easy decision to us, especially after tasting this. Itâs got all the hallmarks of the Hills, expressing tropical fruit, melon and citrus with that touch of grassiness and hint of herbs all held together by a nice acid line. If youâre into your savvy b, then you know and love this style. Not everything needs to be complicated.

Region
Adelaide Hills
Don't kid yourselves, the Adelaide Hills are bigger and much more diverse than they seem. It stretches over 80km from the Barossa Valley in the North to McLaren Vale in the South. The area is so variable that small pockets such as Piccadilly and Longwood can only ripen marginal such as Chardonnay or Pinot Noir, whereas other specific areas are perfect for peppery Shiraz and ballsy Cabernet. A healthy mix of experienced hands and young hipsters ensure the region stays at the cutting edge of the industry. Natural wines, and new European varieties including Nebbiolo and Gruner Veltliner are some of the more recent highlights to keep an eye out for.
