Darling Cellars Reserve Bushvine Sauvignon Blanc 2025

This wine shows layers of minerality and tropical fruits on the nose. A bouquet of green fig and asparagus, leads to a delightful tropical fruit palate of melon and passionfruit. These flavours are supported by a vibrant acidity that keeps the palate fresh.

This wine will pair well with most seafood, but will go particularly well with West Coast fresh mussels or oysters!

The Darling Cellars Reserve range showcases single-varietal wines with a focus on fruit- driven profiles that remain true to both varietal character and wine of origin: Darling. Sourced from dryland-farmed vineyards, these wines reflect the unique climate and terroir of Darling, where vines thrive in their natural state—unirrigated, bush vines with lower yields and intensely concentrated fruit. This approach ensures wines of depth, structure, and authenticity, offering a genuine taste of the land. The Darling Cellars Reserve range is the perfect choice for those who appreciate consumer friendly yet expressive wines that stay true to their origins.
