Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"This is a complex, textural wine. The grapes in this wine were hand picked, whole bunch pressed and fermented in seasoned French barrels using indigenous yeasts from our winery and vineyards.
The wine has aromas of passionfruit, nectarine, citrus, and flint. This style of Sauvignon Blanc is a great accompaniment to a special meal. Drink now or cellar until 2024."

5 Stars Michael Cooper (2016 Vintage)
"The very classy 2016 vintage is a single-vineyard wine, grown in the Southern Valleys, hand-picked, and fermented and lees-aged for eight months in seasoned French oak casks. Delicious now, it is full-bodied, with concentrated, ripe tropical-fruit flavours, a subtle seasoning of nutty oak, and notable complexity and length. A finely textured, very harmonious wine, it's a drink-now or cellaring proposition."
4 Stars Cuisine Sauvignon Blanc Tasting, December 2017 (2016 Vintage)
"A wild ferment in old French oak is part of the recipe for Mount Riley’s top tier sauvignon blanc. At the heart of this wine is some gorgeous fruit, with flavours that range from herbaceous to yellow stonefruit, and which carries right to the back of the mouth. A complex, concentrated style with sophistication and freshness that will reward more time in the cellar."
