The 2025 Longview Whippet Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and finely tuned Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc crafted from estate-grown fruit on the elevated slopes of Macclesfield. Produced in a fresh cool-climate style with a small portion of barrel fermentation and lees stirring for added texture, the wine balances bright citrus purity with subtle complexity and impressive finesse. The dry 2025 vintage delivered excellent natural acidity and concentrated aromatics, producing one of Longview’s freshest and most energetic Whippet releases.
The nose reveals passionfruit, pink grapefruit and lemon blossom layered with honeysuckle, nettle and fresh-cut herbs. On the palate, it is light, crisp and beautifully racy with vibrant acidity, crunchy citrus fruit and a subtle phenolic grip that adds texture and persistence. Layers of gooseberry, green apple and lime unfold with freshness and precision, finishing dry, zesty and wonderfully mouthwatering with classic Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc character. Critics praised the wine’s vibrant varietal expression and refreshing style, with Halliday awarding 90 points.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2025 Longview Whippet Sauvignon Blanc is a fresh, zippy and seriously drinkable Sauvignon Blanc — vibrant, citrusy and packed with cool-climate energy. Perfect with oysters, salt and pepper squid, fresh prawns, goat’s cheese or light summer dishes. Serve well chilled and enjoy young for maximum freshness and vibrancy.
