Awards/Reviews

89 pts Wine Enthusiast-
This Sauvignon, part of Leeuwin’s everyday drinking range, could be mistaken for a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Bombastic gooseberry, grass, green bell pepper and tomato leaf aromas charge out of the glass. Prickly, laser-like acidity is lean but refreshing, balanced by a slippery texture and a green herbal finish.

89 pts Wine Advocate –
Starting in 2017, this wine has been labeled only Sauvignon Blanc, although it continues to include a bit of Semillon. The 2018 Siblings Sauvignon Blanc boasts textbook passion fruit and green pea aromas, a plump, medium-bodied palate and flavors of fig and nectarine on the dry, chalky finish.<br>

91 pts James Suckling –
A very soft, supple and attractive array of white peaches and yellow mangoes with gentle, herbal notes. Fleshy and attractive the whole way through. Drink now. Screw cap.

Winemaker Notes

Fragrant and energetic, the nose has an abundance of lychee, kiwifruit and blackcurrant with lime curd and lemon sherbet. Thai basil, sliced fennel, gingerand citrus blossom sit neatly in the background. A gentle entry leads to a delicatelytextured mid palate. Bursting lemon, lime and grapefruit dominate throughout withbright acidity, a slightly savory line and a talc-like finish.
