Flowstone Queen of the Earth Sauvignon Blanc 2025
$49, 13% alcohol, screwcap, Margaret River.

The aromas are bell clear, so too the flavours, so too the quality of this wine. This is the kind of glistening, gleaming wine that makes you smile and makes you nod. It tastes of tropical fruit, lemongrass, woodsmoke and cedar, though it’s the fruit that breasts the tape and wins the day. The palate here almost feels cuddly, such is its volume and softness, but as a whole, this wine has a tension and a charge. It’s excellent. 95 points.
