Sauvignon Blanc is the first grape variety of vintage to ripen. Local fauna have a naturally sweet tooth and find the juicy, sugar filled berries irresistible. Scarecrows are an old solution to a timeless problem but the delinquent criiters have never learned to distinguish the artfully stuffed rags from the real thing. Those grapes which survive the pilferage are crafted by the Pertaringa team into an engagingly aromatic wine with clean, crisp palate, the ideal choice for service alongside moreton bay bug tails dressed in paprika butter.
TASTING NOTES
Light lemon hues. Vibrant aromas of lemon sherbet, pawpaws, passionfruit and gooseberry. A light, crisp palate laden with fresh tropical notes and autumn vegetable characters, citrus, lemongras and kiwifruits, supported by a beautifully balanced, racy acidity, resolving on a juicy, spotlessly clean finish.

More About Pertaringa Wines
The vineyards around the foothills behind McLaren Vale have always produced some of the regions finest wines, the enriched soils and sea breezes off St Vincent’s Gulf, set the scene for high quality wine grapes
In 1981 the Australian Wine Industry was in bad shape. Classic old vines, used to make fortified and red wines, were being removed. Big companies were pulling out of the industry. Twenty four year old Geoff Hardy had recently graduated from Roseworthy Agricultural College and had seen how the Californians were grafting old vines over to new varieties such as Chardonnay. Geoff formed a partnership with Ian Leask who already had a solid history in viticulture and was then managing the Ryecroft Vineyards. The vineyard was available for sale and this is how Pertaringa, an Aboriginal name meaning Belonging to the Hills, was born. Pertaringa»
