Description
Ben Mullen’s obsession with Sauvignon Blanc started years ago, back when he was working at Craggy Range in New Zealand. He saw how good the grape could be when it was treated seriously - not as a fruit bomb, but as something textured, savoury, and built to age. That idea stuck with him, and it’s what he’s perfected here.
The fruit comes from Brown Magpie Vineyard on Geelong’s Surf Coast - old vines in sandy loam over limestone that seem made for this style. Ben ferments the juice wild in two cigar-shaped French barrels (one new, one seasoned), then leaves it to rest on full solids for nine months.
The result is brilliant: smoky, flinty, tropical, with drive, depth and texture. It’s got just enough oak to frame the fruit without muting it, and the finish goes on for days.
We’ve been big fans of this wine since the first release - something we don't usually say about Sauv Blanc. It’s proof, if you needed it, that Sauvignon Blanc in the right hands can be every bit as serious as Chardonnay.

"Another superb Modewarre sauvignon blanc from Mulline. A mineral-accented bouquet with pure lime and citrus scents together with stone fruits, nettles and wildflowers."
