Matt Holmes has been successfully tweaking the Sauvignon Blanc for the last few years to capture more freshness and site expression. Beginning in 2021, the winemaking was pared back, allowing the old vines and limestone soils to take centre stage. Tweaks aside, this remains one of Australia’s most compelling examples of the variety. The fruit hails from two small, organic-certified parcels of vines planted in 1996 at the property’s eastern edge on a block adjacent to the Serré Pinot Noir vines. There’s now some old oak used in the aging adding texture and more complex aromas. Matt Holmes's 2025 shows an even more restrained, savoury side of the variety with lovely tension, freshness, and clear-cut flavours of hay, blackcurrant leaf, and Comice pear. A vibrantly focused and food-friendly style that speaks clearly of site over variety.
