Castle Rock Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Castle Rock Estate has garnered a reputation for crafting complex Sauvignon Blancs, and their latest offering exemplifies this commitment to quality. The 2021 vintage is a testament to the winemaking prowess of Rob Diletti, showcasing a careful integration of fruit characters complemented by a small amount of juice solids during fermentation, which adds an extra layer of complexity.

The bouquet is striking, featuring a lifted nose that bursts with vibrant tropical and gooseberry fruits. This aromatic profile is beautifully balanced with complexity derived from the juice solids, alongside subtle herbaceous notes that round out the overall fragrance. The result is a complete and intricate bouquet that invites you to explore its layers.

On the palate, the wine reveals a lively and generous front, where herbaceous elements harmoniously meld with tropical fruit notes. The refreshing gooseberry flavours are enhanced by delicate hints of lychee and feijoa, adding depth to the tasting experience. There’s a wonderful texture and mouthfeel that elevates this Sauvignon Blanc, creating a complex wine that captivates with its extra dimension. A crisp acidity provides an excellent backbone, ensuring balance and structure, while contributing to a clean, long finish that lingers delightfully.

As for food pairing, this Sauvignon Blanc serves as an ideal aperitif, perfect for sipping on its own. It also complements a range of dishes beautifully, making it an excellent choice alongside fresh seafood, grilled chicken, or pasta dishes. Whether enjoyed on a sunny afternoon or as part of a relaxed dinner, this wine enhances any culinary experience.
