Varietal focus: Sauvignon blanc Halliday Wine Companion

Halliday Wine Companion 'By the Glass' EP 5: Stuart Pym, Flowstone Wines, Margaret River.

Now, while New Zealand’s Marlborough region is synonymous with sauvignon blanc -  it’s actually a bit of an international juggernaut of sorts – remaining one of the fastest growing wines in the world.

And while there’s been a real shift away from those distinct grassy, tropical fruit-laden wines we all think of – sauvignon blanc is enjoying a stylistic revival – with winemakers across Australia serving up sophisticated wines that have depth, complexity and beautiful length on the palate.

Today - we are joined by Margaret River winemaker Stuart Pym, of Flowstone Wines.

Flowstone have won several awards for their sauvignon blanc and have also previously taken out the title of Best New Winery at the Halliday Wine Companion Awards.

And as promised - all the details for our upcoming 2022 Halliday Wine Companion Awards:

This year we have two ways to celebrate – in person at our fine-dining degustation dinner or virtually with our online streaming event. Purchase your tickets and join us at Stokehouse St Kilda for an unforgettable evening, or subscribe to our online broadcast and start planning your own event at home! Don't forget to tag #Halliday2022 in all your celebrations.
