Description
A beautifully balanced 94pt Sauvignon from Geoff Hardy's legendary K1 vineyards. The K1 Sauvignon Blanc vines are the oldest in the Adelaide Hills and are planted in a sandy loam area of the K1 by Geoff Hardy.“A very energetic and flavour-packed white wine that does justice to the concept of varietal character. Zippy and zingy, a little juicy, a perky acid line, lots of classic passionfruit, tart guava, green apple, cut grass and general leafy herbal inflection. Loads of perfume, pristine in fruit character. This is a delight and doesn't try too hard. 94pts, Great Value.” (Mike Bennie, The Halliday Wine Companion). The vines are spur pruned to a low bud number to increase fruit quality. This 2025 Sauvignon id described as “Lively and textural on the palate, it delivers flavours of stone fruit, grapefruit and cucumber, with a gentle edge of snow pea adding crunch and clarity.”
Geoff Hardy’s great-great-grandfather, the original Thomas Hardy, first planted grapes in SA in the 1850s and was one of the founding fathers of the Australian wine industry. Geoff and his partner Fiona purchased an old dairy farm in the Kuitpo area of the southern Adelaide Hills in 1986 and planted out the first vineyard in the Kuitpo region.
