Port Phillip Estate Sauvignon 2021

Port Phillip Estate Sauvignon Blanc spring apple blossom, nettles, a cut green leafiness and hints of redcurrant.

THE AGE EPICURE, 24th May 2011 This quietly complex, pale Mornington Peninsula sauvignon blanc shows how skilfully applied barrel influence and winemaking art add dimension to an oft-maligned variety. Juicy lime, herb, almondy lees and earthy oak aromas lead into a savoury, chalky-dry mouthful of lovely seamless flow, finishing lingering and fragrant. 4 1/2 stars $$ RALPH KYTE POWELL

FRESH – THE WEST AUSTRALIAN, 19th May 2011 A nice alternative style to the Kiwi savvies. Has some subtle snow pea and light herbaceousness. The fruit is crisp and fresh with a lively sustaining acidity. Easy current drinking and nice with food. 88/100. RAY JORDAN

Port Phillip Estate was established in 1987 on a property of sixty acres in Red Hill in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula. The maritime climate and southerly latitude of the Mornington Peninsula combined with the estate’s deep red loam soils are considered ideal for cool climate viticulture.
