Paracombe 2014 Sauvignon Blanc

The South Australian Drink Of The Week this week, comes from Paracombe Wines in the Adelaide Hills.

We tasted it in episode 72 and Steve was quite surprised by how enjoyable it was, despite being a ‘red man’.

He noted aromas of passionfruit on the nose, triggering boyhood memories of growing up among passionfruit vines.

On the palate, it was a delightful array of tropical fruits leading to a gentle, crisp finish.

Steve noted that Philip White gave this wine 92 points, which is high praise indeed, and like Sauv Blancs from previous vintages, this one has already racked up two medals.

Hear Steve taste this wine.

Win a bottle of this wine

The Arkaba Hotel has partnered with us so that it can let our fellow wine lovers know you can safely order wine by the glass through their Enomatic System. So, instead of getting a tired glass of wine from a bottle that was opened days ago, which is a dreadful experience for serious wine drinkers, at the Arkaba they can guarantee freshness just like the winemaker intended.
