Balhannah Wines Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Adelaide Hills, South Australia

Vineyard & Vintage

Nestled in the heart of the Adelaide Hills at 400m above sea level, our Balhannah vineyard thrives in one of Australia’s most celebrated cool-climate wine regions. The 2025 vintage was defined by a dry, steady growing season, with warm days and cool nights that preserved the grapes’ natural acidity, ensuring vibrant freshness and intensity of flavor. These pristine conditions allowed for slow, even ripening, resulting in a Sauvignon Blanc of exceptional purity, elegance, and tropical fruit expression.

Tasting Notes

This 2025 Balhannah Sauvignon Blanc is a radiant expression of Adelaide Hills winemaking—lush yet refined, bursting with flavor yet beautifully balanced.

Appearance: Pale straw with glints of green, shimmering with vitality.

Aroma: A vibrant bouquet of ripe passionfruit, guava, and juicy pineapple, lifted by hints of lime zest and a touch of wet stone minerality.

Palate: The tropical fruit intensity carries through to the palate, with layers of lychee, green mango, and citrus blossom. Bright, zesty acidity provides structure and length, while a subtle flinty note adds sophistication. The finish is crisp, clean, and mouthwateringly fresh, making every sip as delicious as the last.

Winemaking & Style

Hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed to retain fruit purity, this wine was fermented in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant aromatics. A portion was matured on fine lees for added texture, enhancing its silky, rounded mouthfeel without sacrificing freshness.

Food Pairing

Perfect for warm days and lively gatherings, this Sauvignon Blanc sings alongside:

Grilled prawns with chili, lime, and coriander

Fresh oysters with a mignonette dressing

Goat’s cheese salad with mango and mint

Vietnamese summer rolls with dipping sauce
