Heirloom is the venture of experienced duo Zar and Elena Brooks; who have previously founded Dandelion Vineyards and Zonte's Footsteps. With an aim of preserving the unique old vineyards of South Australia, championing the best clones of each variety and embracing organic and biodynamic practices, the wines from Heirloom consistently impress.
The 2021 Heirloom Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc was produced from their best Adelaide Hills Vineyard and reflects perfect growing conditions throughout the vintage. Perfumed and lifted, this is brimming with plenty of fresh gooseberry, green apple and lychee flavours, on a balanced, textured palate with plenty of lively acidity.
"93 Points. There is so much to love about Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc from 2021, which is the best vintage for some time for this variety. There is a beautiful brightness and purity of fruit to this example - guava and passionfruit with a pretty dusting of dried herbs. It leads to a juicy palate, the acidity bright and fresh but also beautifully integrated and silky with guava and melon fruits remaining subtle and elegant before a long and concentrated finish. Superb drinking for a hot Summer’s night. $30. Drink: 2021 - 2023"- Angus Hughson, winepilot.com.
