Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Sauvignon Blanc is a poised white wine that captures Sauvignon Blanc character, with citrus and orchard fruit, lifted aromatics and a clean, mineral-tinged finish.

Aromatic definition is protected through careful, cool fermentation and low oxygen handling, maintaining bright fruit and a clean, focused finish.

Sustainability is approached through responsible vineyard work and thoughtful sourcing, aiming for healthier soils and balanced fruit so the wine can be made with minimal corrective intervention.

Made by a quality-focused team, the wine reflects a commitment to thoughtful viticulture and measured maturation, with an emphasis on sense of place over heavy-handed winemaking. The story here is guided by the people at the helm, prioritising consistency, integrity and a clear expression of fruit and site.
