Murdoch Hill Sauvignon Blanc 2024

From a mild, low-yielding, high-quality vintage, this vibrant estate-grown wine has received the same deluxe treatment from Michael Downer as everything else at Murdoch Hill. The vines, planted across three blocks in 1998, lie on sandy soils shot through with quartz and ironstone. This year, the fruit fermented and matured entirely in tank. Previous years have seen a small portion fermented in barrel, but in recent years, Downer has moved away from that practice to preserve freshness and pure fruit expression. The result is a wine stacked with tropical and citrus fruits, elegantly balanced and bursting with flavour and freshness.
