K1 by Geoff Hardy Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Story: The K1 Sauvignon Blanc vines are the oldest in the Adelaide Hills and are planted in a sandy loam area of the K1 by Geoff Hardy vineyard, a consistent hero of our vineyard. The vines are spur pruned to a low bud number to increase fruit quality.

Vintage:  In the Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale the 2021 vintage started off with a cool moist period through a late flowering period leading to a smaller than average fruit load on the vines.  The weather at the end of summer through our ripening period was of very even temperatures, all this leading to a small crop of extraordinarily high-quality fruit. We are very happy with our 2021 wines across the board.

Nose: The nose is vibrant with intense aromas of passionfruit, citrus, white peach and just a hint of fresh herbs.

Palate: The palate is very refreshing, nice and lean, with a trace of florals accompanying citrus and exotic tropical fruits leading to a dry, crisp lingering finish.

Pairing: Crisp and dry, this wine is an ideal partner to seafood and less spicy Asian dishes. Try with freshly shucked oysters.
