The remarkable winegrowing mesoclimes of Victoria's high country are heaven sent for Sauvignon Blanc. It is from these undulating slopes that pioneers produced their first vintages, examples of which found their way to the far reaches of the Empire. Wildly fluctuating terroirs and higher elevations are the key to the finesse and complexity. A maze of valleys and sub-valleys offer slopes of every aspect, there is as much variation here as one can find anywhere. The soils are innately suited to viticulture, such an endowment of choice winegrowing terrain produces some of the most agreeable white wines in Australia, fresh and fragrant, crisp and food friendly with sound structure and crisp fruit characters.
