The Carousal Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is a vibrant expression of the cool-climate vineyards of South Australia, where this varietal thrives. Known for producing wines with aromatic intensity and zesty freshness, the region’s maritime influence and cooler nights allow the grapes to retain acidity while developing ripe, concentrated flavours. The 2022 vintage offers a classic take on Sauvignon Blanc, bursting with tropical fruit, citrus, and herbaceous notes, balanced by a refreshing acidity.

Carousal employs minimal intervention in their winemaking process, allowing the natural fruit character to shine through. The result is a crisp and lively Sauvignon Blanc with excellent balance and a clean finish.

Appearance: Pale straw with greenish hues, reflecting its freshness and brightness.

Aroma: The nose is expressive and aromatic, with dominant notes of passionfruit, grapefruit, and lime zest, intertwined with hints of green apple, fresh-cut grass, and a touch of lemongrass. There’s also a subtle minerality, giving the wine a refined edge.

Taste: Zesty and refreshing on the palate, with vibrant flavours of tropical fruits—passionfruit and pineapple—alongside citrus notes of lime and lemon. The wine’s herbal, grassy notes provide a fresh counterpoint to the fruit, while its crisp acidity keeps the palate clean and lively. There’s a touch of gooseberry and minerality that adds complexity to the mid-palate, making the wine well-rounded and dynamic.

Finish: The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering notes of lime and green apple, leaving the palate with a crisp, mouthwatering sensation.

Pairings: Crispy fried chicken with mesquite spiced coating, parsley, thyme, and ponzu. The bright acidity and citrus notes of the Sauvignon Blanc will cut through the richness of the fried chicken, while the herbal tones in the wine complement the seasoning.

Heirloom tomato with aged balsamic, stracciatella, and mojo verde. The wine’s fresh acidity and tropical fruit will enhance the sweetness of the tomatoes and balance the creamy richness of the stracciatella.

The Carousal range of wines from the Jumpin Juice boys (Patrick Sullivan & Xavier Goodridge) is all about premium quality wines from regions outside of their usual Gippsland sources.
