97 Points | Sauvignon Blanc Of The Year - 2026 Halliday Wine Companion
Geoff Weaver's career in wine is one that dates back to 1972 and he's been responsible for making some of Australia's most famous wines. He's a pioneer of the Adelaide Hills and must have known that one day Sauvignon Blanc from the region would rule supreme.
The 2024 Weaver Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is another benchmark release of Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc, which was recently named Sauvignon Blanc Of The Year in the 2026 Halliday Wine Companion. Opening with appealing, lifted aromas of tropical fruits and gooseberry, the palate is vibrant and fruit-driven, with subtle richness, zingy acidity and impressive length.
"97 Points. 2026 Sauvignon Blanc of the Year. Score awarded by the Halliday tasting panel at the annual Awards judging. MB writes: Tip-top release of a regional stalwart. Classic lime and passionfruit characters with faint ginger, vanilla cream and pink grapefruit. Good concentration of flavour, length, too, with some fine, dusty pucker doing pleasing things. Excellent in its way, elevating a simple wine approach so well. Go in. 13% alc. Drink: 2024 - 2028. Screwcap. $33."- Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion 2026.
