The Flying WinemakerSauvignon Blanc 2018
Dry, Light Bodied style of Sauvignon Blanc
About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Sauvignon BlancTasting Notes:
The Flying Winemaker Sauvignon Blanc is, in all essence of the word, lively. It's aromatically dynamic with bursts of gooseberry, white peach, green fig and a subtle grassiness - a tantalising bouquet that grants a captivating experience. Upon each sip, you’ll be greeted by a wine that is energetic and crisp with concentrated tropical flavours that lead to a long, vibrant and salivating acidity that is tightly wound and intensely structured.
Winemaker's Notes:
This wine is curated from younger vine parcels that are varietally expressive and able to sing the right notes of Pinot Noir characteristics. We look for lots of dark plum and cherry notes, which aren't masked with oak, to show off dark and wildly fruity flavours that are plush on the palate with silky tannins.
Our key to the success of this range is simplicity and honesty. We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, we're sticking with what works to make this wine taste awesome.
The Range:
Winemaking without borders while ultimately aiming to express the honest flavours of individual grape varietals. Each wine produced under this range is a benchmark example of grape, place, and maker.
With an ambitious and pioneering spirit, we thrive on discovering and expressing the finest terroir — getting the best from every grape with minimal intervention. The results are exceptional wines, crafted with passion and precision so you too can experience the journey, one sip at a time!

Light bodied white wines have a water-light mouthfeel. Often very pale to light colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Delightfully fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows peach, green rockmelon, crunchy apple and lemon zest characters. It's equally attractive on the palate, delivering succulent fruit intensity backed by fine texture and bright acidity, finishing long and very tasty. At its best: now to 2021.
