Yes said the Seal Sauvignon Blanc 2025 from the Bellarine Peninsula is a textural cool‑climate Savvy that’s far from simple fruit salad, built around excellent estate fruit, barrel work and that salty maritime edge. Crafted in small volumes, it sits firmly in the serious, food‑friendly camp rather than the upfront, smashable style.

In the glass, Yes said the Seal Sauvignon Blanc 2025 shows green melon, sugarsnap pea and gentle herbal lilts, seamlessly meshed with cedar spice and subtle oak from barrel fermentation and time on lees. The palate is layered and textural, with bright acidity carrying flavours of citrus, melon and savoury herbs through a long, refined finish that feels more white Bordeaux than classic Marlborough. It’s a benchmark Bellarine Sauvignon, with structure to age a few years gracefully.

Food‑wise, this 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is brilliant with local seafood – think grilled prawns, mussels, salt‑and‑pepper squid and fish and chips – as well as goat’s cheese, herb‑driven salads, Vietnamese and Thai dishes where lime and fresh herbs lead the way. It’s the kind of wine that elevates a long coastal lunch, especially when you want complexity and refreshment in the same glass.
