If you like NZ Sauvignon Blanc, even though they can sometimes be a little too grapefruity for you, then we think you'll love this one from neighboring Australia. Murdoch Hills is a small family owned estate in the Adelaide Hills region of Australia. A vibrant and bright pale white wine with notes of aromatic stone and tropical fruits on the nose. This Sauvignon Blanc carries the signature characteristics of the Adelaide Hills’ style with a clean and crisp palate of gooseberries and citrus fruits, followed by delicate acidity and a complementing mineral finish.
