Wrattonbully is situated about 300 km southeast of Adelaide and about 30 km north of Coonawarra. The climate is a balance between those of the viticultural regions of Coonawarra and Padthaway as the average summer temperature is one degree warmer than the former and one degree cooler than the latter. Our vineyards are sited on gentle slopes with rows running predominantly east-west.

Our Wrattonbully vineyard plantings of Sauvignon Blanc are extensive, providing choice and ensuring only premium grapes are selected for Mawson’s Sauvignon Blanc. Careful berry selection and fermentation of the free drained juice without pressing reveals very fine, intense fruit flavours. The wine was vinified and held cool in stainless steel to retain its liveliness and freshness prior to bottling.

The aromas are typical of a cool climate Sauvignon Blanc showing grassy, nettley and guava notes. There is a delicious zestiness on the palate with flavours of citrus and lemongrass balanced by a mid palate fullness that leads to a crisp finish. The 2009 Mawson’s Sauvignon Blanc is a wine to be enjoyed in its youth. The wine is a refreshing drink and would be well matched to light dishes.
