The 2024 S.C. Pannell Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc that takes a more refined, food-focused approach to the variety. Sourced from the cool-climate slopes of Carey Gully, this wine balances bright aromatics with texture and freshness, offering a style that leans more towards the elegance of Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc than overtly tropical expressions.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity and excellent purity. Aromas of white currant, lime blossom, jasmine and fresh citrus lead into flavours of grapefruit, gooseberry, melon and lemon zest, with subtle herbal notes adding complexity. Fine phenolics provide texture and structure, while a mineral edge carries through to a long, refreshing finish.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy Sauvignon Blanc with freshness, precision and a little more texture than the typical style. Its bright acidity and citrus-driven profile make it a natural match for freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, sashimi, goat's cheese or light summer salads. Best enjoyed young and well chilled over the next 2–4 years while its vibrant aromatics and freshness are at their peak.
