2023 Run Free by Singlefile Sauvignon Blanc

VINEYARD & WINEMAKING

The Great Southern growing season saw plenty of rainfall and mild weather which encouraged good ripening conditions. The cooler growing conditions allowed for strong varietal characteristics of sauvignon blanc to shine through.

This 2023 sauvignon blanc was picked in pristine conditions in late-March 2023. The fruit was destemmed and pressed, the juice transferred directly into stainless steel tanks and temperature controlled to ensure a slow and gentle fermentation. A small portion was barrel fermented in French oak barrels for 2 months to add subtle texture to the palate. After fermentation, the wine was kept on its lees and gently stirred weekly until a delicate balance between primary fruit characters and texture was achieved.

THE WINE

The wine shows aromatics of crisp green apple, passionfruit and jasmine blossom. The palate displays a subtle richness while still retaining the freshness that one comes to expect from good sauvignon blanc. Stone fruit flavours are supported by refreshing Granny Smith apple and grapefruit notes, with a pleasant, zippy acidity. The finish is lingering and clean.

Tainted as I have been by the unpleasant characters of some Sav Blanc wines, to me this wine was a pleasant epiphany. The restrained, elegant bouquet was followed by a wine with the rich fruit flavours and dry wine characteristics that made it an ideal lunch time accompaniment.

This wine was fruity, crisp and refreshing. A nice dry white that is best enjoyed crispy cold. We just had it on its own but also be paired nicely with a cheese/fruit platter. Very nice indeed

This is a lovely wine that we enjoyed with friends over dinner. It was effortless and light and paired beautifully with our chicken dish.

I do enjoy a Saivignon blanc and this one was very enjoyable with a very crisp, clean palate. Would definitely purchase this one again!

Who doesn't love a cheeky little sav blanc?? Well this one is particularly yummy! Light and super easy to drink. I enjoyed this with Thai food and it was amazing!

Oh my word. I just enjoyed this one served up with a creamy Mumbai spice curry (halloumi vegetarian alternative) and I am in heaven. First super warm day for the season and feel like I’m on Christmas holidays.

This wine reminds me of a warm night with a clear starry sky, it’s refreshing yet complex. A gentle lemon acidity at the front with a buttery finish to balance. A light and delicious wine.

Enjoyed on a warm afternoon, served ice cold, this was perfect. You can taste the green apple notes, and a delicious tang with the acidity. Perfect for drinking as is, or alongside a cheese platter.

Reminiscent of a buttery Chardonnay but not as heavy, with the flavour of a green Granny. Refreshing acidity cleansing the palate pairing with the slightly caramelised onion of tonight's dish of a lemon and garlic chicken with cannellini beans. Light body showing lean legs.

A beautiful wine to enjoy chilled, pairing it with fish would be delicious and noticed hints of lime and green apple. Would definitely enjoy this again.
