About the wine
Grown from Daryl's own vineyards - this Aussie Sauv slips down waaaaay too easily
- Like munching on crisp apples and melon. This vibrant white is from Daryl's own estate vineyard in the Adelaide Hills - made special for Angels!
- Thanks to the help of Angels, Daryl was able to plant his own 20 acre vineyard of Sauvignon Blanc in the heart of Adelaide. Not only did you make this wine happen - you helped Daryl fulfill a lifelong dream.
- Daryl harvests in the very early morning when the air is super cold and crisp – that way, all of the fruit characters and brightness of this Sauv can shine. Your winemaker insists that a good Sauv "isn't about winemaking. It's all about the grape and the vineyard."
Best before
Drink now and don't age. I enjoy this wine best when it's young and fresh where the fruit characters shine through. It will age well for 2-5 years but you will lose those bright characters.
Serving advice
Serve chilled and make sure you have another bottle in the refrigerator. The biggest complaint I get with this wine is that there is never enough in the bottle. It goes down so easily
be warned!!
Food match
Sushi, salads and any seafood....and honestly it's simply great on its own, too.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Daryl Groom
- Meet Daryl... a 35-year veteran of the wine biz, credited eight-times as Winemaker of the Year, named by Food & Wine Magazine as one of 11 visionaries to change the world of wine... and oh yes, he served up his wines at the Oscars and Emmys two years in a row! Safe to say, the man's accomplished.
- Working as the senior white and red winemaker at Penfolds, his 1986 Penfolds Grange was arguably one of the top 3 Granges ever made - 98 points from Spectator and Robert Parker. And now that he works for you, he loves showing off wines from Australia and his California home – Sonoma and Russian River Valley.
- Thanks to your funding, Daryl can focus on doing what he loves – making great wine and sharing great wine. And he selects the best barrels he needs and farms to the best quality. "You are a gift from God to a winemaker," he says. "I knew there were Angels in heaven!"
–– "Groom made Penfolds' flagship red, Grange Hermitage, which has become Australia's most collectible wine." --Wine Spectator, on the $500+ Grange
–– "Groom is my choice for Winemaker of the Year " -- LA Times, Dan Berger
–– "Daryl Groom. The human Tornado. " -- Bill Rice, Chicago Tribune
