partners in wine wa gold rating

Crisp | Mineral | Brightly Textured

A beautifully crafted Sauvignon Blanc Semillon from two standout Margaret River sub-regions. The 2025 Short Stories SBS combines the tropical lift of Cowaramup’s organic vineyard fruit with the clean, herbaceous drive of cool Karridale. Partial barrel fermentation brings subtle texture and refinement without losing freshness, creating a vibrant, mineral and highly drinkable coastal white. So it’s time to create your own story with this amazing wine.
