Bright straw in colour, this energetic sauvignon blanc has explosive aromatics of paw paw, Kaffir lime, capsicum, and stone fruit that mingle with subtle notes of coconut and dill. Dry and reminiscent of highball gin and tonic, persistent flavours of blackcurrant, banana passionfruit, cucumber, and green olive are revealed alongside bright, mouth-watering acidity. The distinctive palate has an elegant structure and a bright, pure finish.

Pale pink in colour, this Mediterranean style rosé is savoury with aromas of Himalayan pink salt, overlaying nuances of watermelon, persimmon, peach, and wild strawberry. The zesty palate exudes blackcurrant, crushed red berries, sherbet, and a seasoning of umami. This elegant rosé is perfectly poised with a chalky texture, delivering a mouthwatering, generous, and dry finish.

A lovely almond colour in the glass, the nose reveals toasted coconut, fresh pear, and apple strudel aromas. Textured and dry, the wine has roasted almond flavours mingling with fresh thyme, wild fennel, and cinnamon. This multi-layered pinot gris is opulent yet clean and juicy with fresh acidity. Great balance and a waxy mouthfeel are complimented by a beautiful lemonade type texture.

Vibrant pale with coppery tints. An intense palette of aromas, with successive notes of fresh lemon and exotic fruit combined with flaunty florals embodying the vineyard's audacious image.

Complex and elegant, citrus, nectarine and apricot notes balanced by toasty French oak.

Delivers an appealing bouquet of pipfruit with floral and lychee notes embellished by a subtle hint of oak. The fruity, richly flavoured, off-dry palate signs out on a snappy mineral note.

Crisp aromas of fresh squeezed lime and citrus blossoms highlight the nose. The palate is a beautiful balance between a lively citrus acidity and a lingering soft minerality.

Vavasour Rosé is summer wine at its finest. Aromas of raspberry, cream soda and rose petal pave the way for a rich palate, with flavours of fresh summer berries.

A serious, concentrated and expressive wine, Vavasour Sauvignon Blanc flaunts a powerful bouquet of fresh herbs, tropical fruits and bright citrus.
