Sauvignon Blanc 2018 – Black Market Deal #36196

This sauvignon blanc is from a very well-regarded boutique producer who make fantastic examples of Mornington Peninsula wines. On a visit to their cellar door, I can imagine people coming for the chardonnay, but staying for the sauv blanc - it really is that good! The wine is labelled as a “Fumé” style and has all of the layers and texture associated with this top-tier of savvy. There’s sherbet and intense feijoa on the nose, followed by nettles and fresh pineapple on the palate. It’s a pungent wine, with intensity, but it’s also balanced and long. This is a very smart wine.

What is a Black Market deal?

Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
