The Adelaide Hills region has long been considered the home of Australia's best Sauvignon Blanc, with Chain Of Ponds 'Black Thursday' Sauvignon Blanc firmly established among the finest.
This 2024 Chain Of Ponds Black Thursday Sauvignon Blanc is again bursting with tropical paw paw, guava and melon flavours balanced by notes of passionfruit, hints of cucumber and split pea. The rounded tropical fruit palate is supported by a tight citrus acidity that gives a zesty, crisp finish. As with most Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc, this will be best enjoyed in its youth.
"It illustrates the qualities of Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc. It’s been sourced from 10 different vineyards, most of which were picked later to build flavour, while one parcel picked early provides the racy light lift. Nicely textured fresh palate with a citrus and gooseberry combination complemented by a light passionfruit pulpiness. 92 Points. $23. Drink: 2025 - 2028."- Ray Jordan, Winepilot.com.
