Bottle of Beklyn Sauvignon Blanc 2026.

Beklyn Sauvignon Blanc 2026
$30, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Currency Creek, South Australia.

Vibrant fruit flavour is what you want most from a young Sauvignon Blanc and this release from Beklyn in Currency Creek delivers a great deal of that. This wine really is lively with fruit flavour. It tastes of passionfruit, nettles, lemon and nashi pear, and while it’s bursting with flavour it also feels soft in the mouth. It’s also of course very young; it will be better again with a few more months under its belt. 91 points.
