Altus Rise ‘Wildlight’ SBS 2023

Bright | Zesty | Coastal Refreshment

Altus Rise’s Wildlight SBS channels pure Margaret River energy in the glass. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards and made entirely in stainless steel, this Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is all about brightness, crunch and coastal freshness. Think lemongrass, grapefruit and lime over a flinty, mineral spine, with just enough tropical fruit to keep it generous and approachable. A fantastic value option for anyone who loves classic WA SBS style.

Vintage Snapshot 2023

The 2023 season in Margaret River was extended but very rewarding. Dry, stable weather with minimal disease pressure allowed for gentle, even ripening and excellent flavour development. Warm days and cool evenings helped retain natural acidity, ideal for bright, aromatic white blends.
