95 points - "Fruit is from the close-planted Crayères vineyard. 57% of the wine was fermented in older oak barrels. Some lovely peachy aromatics this vintage, a hint of tangelo, young papaya and golden kiwi. Compact layers of flavour and echoing notes of tropical fruit. Freshly juiced pineapple citric notes and a long line of fruit and sandstone minerals. A big-hearted style with richness and persistence." - Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)

95 points - "The 2024 Crayeres Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc leads with salted churned butter, white flowers, beeswax, lemon pith, almond meal and apricot kernel. In the mouth, the wine is pure and powerful, with a cascade of nuts, baking spices, brine and curd. This is eminently sophisticated and a shining example of what is possible within the context of this style. The vineyard is on a 37-million-year-old limestone ridge in the heart of Wrattonbully wine region in South Australia. The wine was fermented and matured in a combination of French oak and stainless steel, kept on the full lees in both vessels, with no bâtonnage, then was blended, settled for a couple of months and bottled. This is a sensational wine. A blistering value for money, it offers a legitimate cellaring proposition and is also a great wine to drink now. Your call, both pathways are valid. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." - Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)

94 points - "The thing about this wine is that everything is so even and all just so. There’s plenty of flavour which is gooseberry, kiwi fruit, and pink grapefruit, a slight herbal character, and some biscuit spice. The texture is gently chalky and the acidity is bright but settled, which gives it a bit of zing, and the finish is long with a fresh pineapple juiciness. Excellent." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

94 points - "From the Crayères Vineyard in Wrattonbully, this is always a much lauded Sauvignon Blanc. 2024 was an excellent vintage for the region. This is not your average swill-thrill-and forget Savvy, but rather, a complex and well-worked effort that lifts it well above and beyond the ordinary offering. 57% was whole bunch pressed and fermented in old oak with the remainder in stainless steel. Malo is avoided. 4,950 cases. The palest lemon hue, this is a complex, intense and yet elegant style. There are citrusy notes throughout, with hints of limes and grapefruit, and a hint of dried herbs. Fine, rather gentle acidity, this really does offer a much greater degree of elegance than usually found with this variety. A lingering finish, the wine will drink beautifully over the next half dozen years. Very impressive all round." - Ken Gargett (Wine Pilot)

This is the Sixteenth release of our Sauvignon Blanc from our close-spaced Crayères Vineyard. This vintage, the wine was fermented partly in stainless steel and partly in old oak barrels. The 2024 vintage is a very generous example of our Sauvignon Blanc and will benefit from time in the cellar, gaining some complexity with age.
