Howard Vineyard 400m Range Sauvignon Blanc 2025 from the Adelaide Hills springs out of the glass as an ultra‑fresh, high‑vibrance Sauvignon that feels like a cool‑climate Adelaide Hills cliché in the best possible way – zippy, aromatic and easy to enjoy.

Intense passionfruit and guava dominate the nose, with fresh herbs, a hint of cut grass and a surprisingly cool‑looking slatey mineral line that lifts the whole thing up. On the palate it’s light, dry and spry, running on passionfruit, Granny Smith apple, gooseberry and dill‑like green notes, flagged with a subtle white‑pepper and clove crackle unique to this higher‑altitude Howard Vineyard site, then finishing with brisk acidity and a saline‑tinged zip.​

The Howard Vineyard 400m Range Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is tailor‑made for light, fresh summery plates: think salt‑and‑pepper squid, ceviche, Vietnamese fresh rolls, goat‑cheese salads or simply oysters with a squeeze of lime. Its lift, acidity and bright tropical flavours keep food feeling clean and bright rather than heavy.
