Ponting ‘First Session’ Sauvignon Blanc 2025 from the Adelaide Hills is a bright, zesty crowd‑pleaser – think fresh, aromatic and seriously smashable, perfect for that first glass in the sun before the BBQ gets going. This Ponting First Session Sauvignon Blanc 2025 channels cool‑climate lift with a bit of textural interest, so it feels a step up from your standard savvy.

In the glass expect passionfruit, grapefruit and lime, backed by green apple, gooseberry and a hint of cut grass. The palate is light to medium‑bodied and vibrant, loaded with zesty tropicals and citrus pith, a creamy mid‑palate and crunchy acidity that drives a long, crisp, refreshing finish.

Ponting ‘First Session’ Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is tailor‑made for prawns, salt‑and‑pepper squid, fish and chips, sushi, summer salads with goat’s cheese or a simple plate of fresh oysters. It’s a brilliant opener for a session with mates, served properly chilled, and drinks best over the next couple of years while that fruit is at full throttle.
