Starborough Estate Sons of the soil Pinot Gris 2024
Starborough has always been a bit of an over achiever.
"A refreshing wine bursting with aromas of pungent passionfruit and tropical fruits with fresh herb and lime notes. The bright pristine palate is filled with juicy, powerful passionfruit and tropical fruit flavours. This is a concentrated rich wine finishing long with fresh mouthwatering acidity." Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Potent bouquet and palate with aromas and flavours of fresh peach and lemon, apple and tropical passionfruit. Vibrant and fresh on the palate with a quiver in the acidity leading to a delicious mouthfeel and finish. Balanced and well made in a just dry expression with best drinking from 2024 through 20207." Rated Excellent & 93+/100 Cameron Douglas MS, December 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"The 2024 Sons of the Soil Sauvignon Blanc is sweaty and pungently intense on the nose, with white cabbage, soy-soaked enoki mushroom, kiwi fruit and guava, mustard seeds and celery. In the mouth, the wine is all passion fruit and remarkably intense fruit. It's a powerhouse. I'd probably enjoy a little more restraint, but the intensity and drive of this wine are quite astonishing and will impress many. I am finding myself reaching for descriptors here that I would also apply to things like Barossa Valley Shiraz: palate-staining, ultra intense, powerful. This is quite exciting and certainly impactful." 93/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, Wine Advocate, December 2024 (2024 Vintage)
