Wine Description
Our ‘shining sword rising from the water’ moment wasn’t quite of Arthurian legend, but by a misty dam early one morning. The first rapier-like cut of this Sauvignon Blanc inspired our Excalibur. Perfect for sitting down with a well-chilled glass on a balmy summer’s eve, accompanying a plate of any fresh crustacean known to man.
Excalibur will surely impress with its white Grapefruit Zest, Lemon Curd notes and delicate citrus blossom aromas, with tart Gooseberry and mineral-like acidity. It is the perfect accomplice to just such occasions.

• Platinum Medal/95 Points – Critics Challenge 2024 (USA)
• Double Gold Medal – China Wine & Spirits Awards 2024
• Gold Medal – Beverage Testing Institute Wine Awards 2024 (USA) “Bright emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of kiwi and lime, under ripe star fruit, basil and bell pepper, and gooseberry with a silky, dry light-to-medium body and an engaging, carefree finish imparting notes of kiwi, lime, starfruit, and white flowers. Crisp and refreshing with a lovely kiwi note from start to finish; an easy and versatile food pairing aperitif wine.”
• 93 points – WinePilot.com- Ray Jordan, October 2024 - "This is a savvy from the Adelaide Hills that won’t knock you around with, well, overt savviness. It delivers with admirable restraint, yet plenty is packed into an appealing palate. Bright lemon and grapefruit characters emerge while the subtle infusion of guava and gooseberry brings another layer of complexity. Fine friendly acid sustains the finish."
