Vandenberg Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2026
AU$30, 12.5% alcohol, screwcap, Mount Benson/Limestone Coast
This is a pure sauvignon blanc with squeaky-clean texture – and flavour. This is a very good wine. Citrus, gooseberry, musk and lemongrass flavours put on a disciplined show, pleasing every step of the way. It’s lively, it kicks with flavour, it’s crisp and it’s dryly delicious.
