Sorrenberg Beechworth Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2024 Lovely

Every release of the Sorrenberg SBS is a cracking wine. Creamy, tangerine, floral, tart core unripe mango on the nose.  Mouthfilling, long, tangy, honeycomb, dry. It builds on finish. It is certainly lovely. I'd drink this from now, but I've had some 10-year-old examples that are so well put together. Maybe drink one a year for 12 years!  Pairing it with scallops is my tip. One of the wineries that I've been lucky enough to taste consistently over the years is Sorrenberg. A few years ago, I got to have lunch with Barry and Jan, followed by a barrel tasting and vineyard tour. They are humble but make amazing wine from a couple of blocks in Beechworth. For them, it is all about the growing, and the rest of the process is not messing it up. The Chardonnay is a standout for me but having cellared some of the SBS for about seven years once, I can heartily endorse that wine as well as the Cabernet and Gamay. Sorrenberg Beechworth Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2024 Winery Notes "Sorrenberg Vineyard was established in 1984. It is a 3 hectare vineyard at an elevation of 560 meters. Although the vineyard is granitic it does have the advantage of being on the border where the granite meets the red mudstone, giving the soil greater water holding capacity and the wine structure. The finesse and elegance of Sorrenberg wines can be attributed to the fact that it is one of the highest vineyards on granite soil in the Beechworth region. The varieties grown are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Gamay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The Rhino block named after Barry’s grandfathers vineyard was established in 2005 by Sorrenberg vineyard at an elevation of 595 meters. This is a dry grown block on granite soils. Varieties planted are Chardonnay and Gamay. Both Sorrenberg vineyard and Rhino are certified biodynamic."
