The 2022 Siblings Sauvignon Blanc leads with snow pea, gooseberry, field mushrooms and cassis, autumnal undergrowth and white tea. It's an interestingly complex amalgam of characters—salted green apples, leafy herbs and briny acidity—that reinforce the wine's excellent value for the money. This wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from selected vineyards on the estate and further south at the Peppy Park Vineyard. Twenty-five percent of the cuvée was fermented and matured in second and third-year oak, for three to four months. Bâtonnage was undertaken post fermentation to work textural complexity into the wine. The drinking window indicates early drinking; however, I'd be interested to see this beyond five years; the barrel work suggests it could go a little longer, should you wish further complexity. ...

Region: Margaret River

The Margaret River region of Australia is one of the country's primary wine producing regions, being responsible for producing up to and around twenty percent of the country's wines. The excellent terroirs of this south-westerly region, coupled with the brisk oceanic breezes and superb levels of balanced humidity result in healthy grapevines, offering high yields of consistent high quality. Indeed, the climate of Margaret River has been often compared to that of Bordeaux in France, something which bodes very well for vintners operating in the region. Both red and white wine grape varietals are grown widely throughout Margaret River, with the cooler areas of the region offering superb Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc varietals, and the warmer parts of the region producing the ever popular Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes which Australia is best known for.

Country: Australia

With over sixteen thousand hectares of Australian land now under vine, Australia has become something of a world leader in regards to wine production. One of Australia's key attributes to their success has been their willingness to leave traditional vineyard practices to one side, and develop techniques which are perfectly suited to a New World country. Modern Australian wineries take into consideration the climate and the unique soil types which cover much of their country, and have had fantastic results from cross-breeding programs and blending practices which make the most of the grape varietals which thrive most successfully there, notably the Shiraz and Chardonnay grapes. In recent years, Australia has been lauded as the 'most influential' wine producing country in the world, and the rest of the New World is looking down under for inspiration, and the ability to produce comparable fine wines on their own terrain.
