Rippon Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Certified Biodynamic
This is the absolute best NZ Sauvignon Blanc I have ever tasted and in style with quality Sancerre and better that all but the very best. Ian Cook - FWC
If the names Dagueneau, Vatan or Cotat ring any bells then you can slide this sauvignon blanc from Mills (Rippon) right alongside. Remarkable white wine here. Nothing is overlooked at Rippon so even the so often-pedestrian white variety sauvignon blanc is exceptional, if not, remarkable here. Rarely do you see a wine with so much ‘minerality’ but this one gives you a yardstick for that esoteric,
nebulous, concept. And I love the sense of minerality in white wines. Quite an amazing white wine here.
Savvy bee. Oof. Lots on here. No prisoners in the perfume. Wasabi peas, jalapeno, lime, passionfruit – palalte and perfume. Flavoursome beasty! It’s got so much going on, crazy. Texture is great, chewy and chalky, races along at pace with refreshment factor on high. Quite an experience – an elevated example! 94 points, drink to 2025+, Mike Bennie, Winefront.
