Howard Vineyard 400m Sauvignon Blanc 2023

In 1890, Amos William Howard discovered subterranean clover thriving naturally in a picturesque valley in the Adelaide Hills. Howard Vineyard’s stone barn Cellar Door and premium red vineyard are located in Nairne, on the site of this original farm. Subterranean clover continues to grow at this site, restoring Nitrogen and ensuring the health and quality of the soil in this spectacular vineyard. 30km away, the high altitude (470m), cool climate white vineyard at Schoenthal ("Beautiful Valley” in German) is one of the Adelaide Hill’s finest sites for growing fresh, crisp Sparkling and white wines. These two unique vineyard sites enable us to grow exceptional white and red grapes without compromise, and the Estate grown Picnic, Clover and Amos wines are renowned for their delicate notes and distinctive fruit purity.

The Adelaide Hills produces the best Sauvignon Blanc in Australia. The fruit for this 2017 Sauvignon Blanc is an exceptional example of this style of wine.

This single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from the Nairne vineyard displays tropical passionfruit, gooseberry and pineapple on the nose. The palate delivers white grapefruit, citrus and Summer herbs. A rich mouthfeel and lively acidity provide length and freshness to the finish.
