Franca’s Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2025
$22, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, South Eastern Australia.
This is fruit-filled and easy-going with lychee, musk, sweet pear and apple flavours running juicily throughout. It’s as uncomplicated as it is easy to enjoy. It finishes dry and it has decent shape as it passes through your mouth. 89 points.
