MIKE’S WINE NOTES:
Mike Davies – Co-founder Greenskin Wine, winemaker and wine packaging specialist.
Introducing our 2023 Sauvignon Blanc from Margaret River, crafted by the talented winemaker Japo Dalli Cani of McHenry Hohnen Vineyards. Using the same method as our previous Sauvignon Blancs, Japo has allowed this 100% Sauvignon Blanc to spend a brief period in a large oak barrels, making the wine more interesting, complex and mouth-filling without being woody or oaky.
This wine was also made without fining agents, so it is Vegan-friendly, zesty, and bursting with flavour!
- Colour: Pale Straw
- Nose: Gooseberry, guava, paw paw and green apple with a hint of fresh toast.
- Palate: Lip-smacking and fresh, with clean passionfruit and crunchy apple leading the way. The careful oak handling is in the shadows, providing complexity and depth.

This 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is a VEGAN Wine. See here to find out more about what makes a wine Vegan.
Food Pairings – I always think of Sauvignon Bland as a seafood wine. The best kinds of seafood to have with Sauvignon Blanc are raw or close to it; Oysters, Sashimi and ceviche white fish. This Sauvignon Blanc also pairs beautifully with Eastern European & Middle Eastern foods like Tzaziki, humous and grilled vegetables.
The mere thought of pairing half a dozen chilled, freshly shucked oysters with this exquisite wine fills me with lip-smacking excitement!
HUON’S WINE NOTES:
Huon Hooke is a leading Australian wine writer, critic, educator and show judge, best known for his columns in Sydney Morning Herald Good Food and Good Weekend.
Herbal, lemon skin, cut-grass aromas, radish and apple too; it’s fresh, clean and straightforward. Palate is bright and crisp, with some crunch from phenolics and a hint of grip, a little bitterness on first sip. There’s an appealing floral element too. Very good quality for a wine in such unpretentious packaging!
