Australian winemaking isn't known for its refreshing wines. Often, it's the robust, full-bodied white wines that make waves and put Australia on the map as a wine country. However, Deakin Estate is an exception. They've succeeded in producing a successful Sauvignon Blanc in bone-dry Victoria, a province in Australia's southeast. A unique style of wine, not easily found. An incredible freshness you'd hardly expect from this vast ocean-dwelling country. But above all, Deakin Estate Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing, invigorating wine for any occasion.
The old Sauvignon Blanc vineyard of Deakin Estate
The vineyards are located in the far north of Victoria, near the border with New South Wales. A hundred years ago, this was one of the driest regions on earth. Literally nothing grew there. Thanks to the efforts of the then-Prime Minister of Australia, named Deakin (that sounds familiar), this area has become one of the best agricultural regions in Australia. While all sorts of things grow here, grapes still dominate. The soil's fertility is primarily due to the presence of the enormous Murray River. The quality of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes is exceptional, and you can taste that with every sip of Deakin Estate Sauvignon Blanc.
The aroma and taste of the Deakin Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Time to open this top wine from Deakin Estate. Expectations are high. After all, all other Deakin Estate wines also score exceptionally well. That aroma is invigorating and makes you thirsty, craving this wine. Fresh aromas of peach, apricot, citrus, bass, and freshly mown grass greet your nose. A delightful white wine to smell. That bodes well for the taste. Crisp notes of melon, green apple, and citrus swirl through your mouth. What a pleasant freshness. Deakin Estate Sauvignon Blanc is a wine that's always good. Because with so much freshness in this wine, when you drink it, the sun will naturally shine!
