About The Wine
With its beautiful, sparing label, Thousand Candles is an expansive sustainable enterprise on a historic Yarra Valley property. Not only are the vines here farmed by organic methods, they also raise grass fed beef of exceptional quality.
Under their junior Gathering Field label, this is an imaginative expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Half the grapes ferment in contact with the skins, giving it a deeper golden colour, subtle texture and spiced pear notes.
Its bright finish and tropical notes allow it to navigate a little spice, a perfect pairing for your favourite south-east Asian take away.
