Groom Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Daryl Groom (former Penfolds winemaker) has done well here! Intense mouthfilling tropical fruit cascading from refreshing citrus to pineapple and passionfruit with balanced salad green characters. More tropical and less pungent in style than NZ sauvignon blanc. 100 % estate grown fruit from their Lenswood vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. The '09 vintage is being hailed as one of the best for Adelaide Hills in yonks!- the pefect vintage, a long hot season but no heatwave like in 08 - so no disappointments here! Halliday is a huge fan of Groom's wines. Of their 08 vintage he says “… great vibrancy, almost urgency, of the palate which gives this wine its quality and style, with a long, grainy finish. Rating 95. Rated Top Sauvignon Blanc” HALLIDAY.
"A very intense, crisp, tangy sauvignon that has more fruit depth than most Australian examples of its kind .. strongly varietal and deliciously refreshing." 93 points and Top Aussie Drop. HUON HOOKE.

Daryl Groom was the Penfolds winemaker for years and has spent the last decade as chief winemaker at Geyser peak in the Napa. His sister and brother-in-law David look after their vineyards in Lenswood in the Adelaide Hills and Kalimna in the Barossa. Daryl comes home regularly to make the wines. His wines are rich and elegant -he does not do jammy, tannic or oaky wines. Another Halliday 5 Stars! Intensity and balance is what his wines are about and they are the Best of the Barossa!
