O'Leary Walker Wines was established in 2000 by the experienced and highly regarded winemaking duo of David O'Leary and Nick Walker. This 2021 O'Leary Walker Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown on an award-winning vineyard lies in the heart of Adelaide Hills. David and Sue Cherry (nee O'Leary) planted this vineyard in 1990, and the Adelaide Hills is perfectly suited to the production of crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc.
A high quality example of what this cool-climate region does so well, this 2021 O'Leary Walker Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc offers loads of bright passionfruit and lemon with hints of gooseberry and spice. An elegant texture where complex oak influence meets fruit, balanced with a fresh acid line to provide a persistent finish.
"... 95 Points. There have been some real zingers released of which O’Leary Walker is up there. Passionfruit!! It screams out of the glass, layers of passionfruit pulp sandwiched between tropical fruits presents as a stunning bouquet. The exuberance goes on and on in the glass. I opened the wine four days after tasting and it was still in over-drive. Unstoppable. Fruit intensity – tropicals, apple, preserved lemon, dried mango – is strong with this one. Lots of juiciness to suck on too aided by crisp, clean acidity. This offers top drinking this summer. $25. Drink: 2021 - 2023"- Jeni Port, winepilot.com.
