Winery Overview Criminal Minds Sauvignon Blanc is produced by the Byrne family, who are known for sustainable vineyard practices and a consistent focus on quality. Their vineyards sit alongside natural wetlands, creating an environment that supports steady ripening and clear fruit expression. This Suvignon Blanc reflects the Byrne approach of freshness, purity and balance. Region and Vintage Conditions The 2023 season was cooler than average and continued into April. These conditions allowed slow and even ripening, resulting in strong colour, clean flavours and lifted aromatics. Harvesting took place in the cool evening to help preserve natural acidity and freshness. Winemaking Techniques Fruit was picked at night to maintain freshness, then fermented at low temperatures to capture subtle aromatics and varietal expression. The focus was on preserving crisp acidity and bright fruit rather than adding weight or oak. The result is a clean, expressive wine with a lively, youthful personality. Tasting Notes Appearance Bright and pale with a fresh, clear edge Aroma Guava, lemon, green apple and subtle tropical notes Palate Crisp, juicy and vibrant with flavours of citrus, guava and nectarine. The acidity is lively and refreshing, carrying the fruit through to a clean finish. Finish Light, bright and energetic with lingering citrus notes Key Characteristics Fresh and fruit-driven Bright citrus and tropical notes Crisp acidity with a clean, youthful finish Food Pairing Recommendations Suitable for seafood, salads, grilled fish, light vegetarian dishes, soft goat cheese and simple pasta meals. Works well for everyday dining. Expert Review Sam Kim from Wine Orbit describes it as attractively aromatic with green apple, nectarine and lemon zest. The palate is juicy, crisp and youthful with a vibrant lingering finish.
