Pertaringa's Scarecrow Sauvignon Blanc is always one of our most popular examples of local Sauvignon Blanc and the 2025 vintage is again in fine form. Made predominantly from Adelaide Hills grapes, with a portion of McLaren Vale fruit, this is bursting with fragrant aromas of passionfruit, citrus and snow peas. The palate is vibrant and well-weighted with plenty of tropical fruit flavours, followed by a crisp and refreshing finish. At this limited time discounted price, this offers great value drinking.
"This really is a family act. The vines which provided the grapes were 60% in the Kuitpo subregion of the Adelaide Hills, a vineyard planted by Bec’s father, Geoff Hardy, in the 1990s, with the remaining 40% from a Lower Tintara vineyard in McLaren Vale, planted by Bec’s great-great-grandfather, Thomas Hardy, in the 1880s. The wine is a very pale lemon colour. It is well balanced and of medium length, with the nose offering tropical notes, notably passionfruit, along with some citrus. There is juicy acidity, good balance and a freshness here. The wine would be best drunk sooner rather than later, but anytime over the next two to three years will suffice. 91 Points. $28. Drink: 2025 - 2028."- Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot.
