Sauvignon Blanc 2018 – Black Market Deal #36196
- Textural
- Mornington Peninsula
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.

Mornington Peninsula
The Mornington Peninsula is one of those places you dream of retiring - once you've made a cool $10m to get you into the Red Hill club. The sublime mix of temperate climate, expansive views, lush hills and pristine beaches is something not many would turn their nose up at. You can rest assured that every winery here has all the money they need, and although the wines may be relatively expensive, they're made as close to idealistic aspirations as possible. It's hard to find a bad wine. The usual cool climate suspects are the mainstay here (Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling) and they range from ethereal to weighty. Whichever end of the spectrum, they're all class.
