Leabrook Estate Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2009
- Region Adelaide Hills, SA
- Type White
- Size 750ml
- Alcohol 13%
I love the balance in this wine; a zippy entry with sweet tropical fruits is balanced by the cut and thrust of citrus and some tasty tart edges. It opens with a nice hit of guava and passionfruit before the minerality rolls out impressively along the palate. There's a sprinkle of parsley on a lengthy finish but this possesses none of the sometimes distracting pungency of many New Zealand examples. A real pleasure to drink and widely adaptable to different situations, friends and food. If you're looking for a good example of Australian Sauvignon Blanc, this is a great place to start. -JP

Nick Stock, The Penguin Wine Guide
says:...with plenty of aroma, flavour and palate weight - this really delivers. Smells of citrus and tropical fruits and tastes of passionfruit and citrus...neat and balanced.
James Halliday, the Wine Companion
says:Light straw-green; the bouquet is not giving much away early in its life, but the palate has attractive tropical and citrus flavours that redeem the wine.
