Caravan Sauvignon Blanc 2021

John Quarisa, aka Johnny Q, is a terrific winemaker, creating wines that, like him, can be lively and highly charged. In his Caravan wine series, he likes to think of a grape that changes in style as it travels. So that here, Sauvignon Blanc grown in his Riverina vineyards produces a wine still with loads of grassy fresh zip, but along the way, has developed more tropical fruit flavours too. That is peach, pineapple and passionfruit! He insists on night harvested grapes to ensure lots of bright fresh flavours and cool ferments them for the same reason. The 2020 vintage won Gold, and our impression that the 2021 vintage is tasting even better has been backed up not only by another Gold, but a huge score of 96pts from Winestate magazine! It's a fridge-door-must – chill down and enjoy as a glass on its own or with spicy Thai dishes.
