Critique Review
“A super-stylish drink that straddles the fresh and vibrant with the textural and detailed. Spearmint and crunchy green apple, stony and moreish, it’s more a savoury incarnation with layers of interest thanks to fermentation in older oak and the creamy lees within. It all adds up to an extra dimension of flavour and complexity."

Vineyard Info
Our Sauvignon Blanc vines are planted throughout our southern Margaret River vineyards with the majority planted at the Luminosa and Karridale vineyards. A multiple personality wine, it represents the uniqueness of each vineyard site while maintaining a defined Stella Bella style. Vintage 2021 - We were challenged, battered and bruised, a couple of far north cyclones and a dearth of vintage workers made this a vintage to remember. But with the expertise of our vineyard crew, led by the incredible Steve Martin, a program of shoot thinning, leaf plucking and bunch thinning made sure that we emerged triumphant with whites that are highlighted by crisp natural acidity and ripe fruit flavours.
