John Innes is a 30-year veteran of Coonawarra, with a deep knowledge of it and the surrounding region that he is putting to good use with his Ottelia project. We continue to be impressed by the wines made under the Ottelia label, which consistently deliver excellent varietal purity and value-for-money.
This 2024 Ottelia Sauvignon Blanc is made from grapes grown on the Ellis family’s Mount Gambier vineyard. This cool-climate site has delivered a crisp Sauvignon Blanc with lifted enticing aromas of passionfruit and grapefruit, with a nuance of spice and flint. The palate delivers lively fruit flavours, mineral acidity and a long clean finish. A classy, restrained Sauvignon Blanc with wide appeal.
