TASTING NOTES FOR Geoff Weaver Sauvignon Blanc 2021
🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with a light green hue. Bright and crystalline, reflecting its cool Adelaide Hills origins.

Lifted and refined, with lime zest, passionfruit and delicate tropical fruits like guava and dragonfruit. Subtle notes of cut grass, herbs and crushed rock minerality add complexity and restraint.
👅 Palate
Fresh and vibrant, delivering citrus—lemon, lime and grapefruit—alongside passionfruit and crisp apple. The palate shows impressive concentration and energy, driven by bright acidity and pure varietal expression.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Textural yet precise, with a lively acid line giving length and definition. The finish is long, clean and mineral, with lingering citrus, herbal notes and a refreshing saline edge.
🍇 Overall Style
A premium Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc—restrained, mineral and highly refined. Focused on purity and structure rather than overt tropical fruit, delivering a more sophisticated, food-friendly style.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with oysters, prawns, grilled fish or goat’s cheese. Also excellent with fresh salads and lightly spiced Asian dishes.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously classy Sauvignon Blanc—pure, mineral and beautifully balanced.
Perfect for mixed dozens when you want a premium white that stands out for elegance and precision.
