Vandal Gonzo Militia White Blend 2019 New Zealand Marlborough

Swinging Bridge Sauvignon Blanc 2018. This vibrant and expressive cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc, shows lively passionfruit aromas and flavours. A lovely alternative to others that you might have tried from our New Zealand neighbours.

Tom’s winemaking philosophy is equally as uncompromising: to make premium-quality wines that speak directly of their regional provenance, and more particularly, the unique terroir of the vineyard. “In a high-elevation, cool-climate region like Orange, the wines need to have brightness and no forced acidity. For a cool-climate Chardonnay, for example, we need the oak to support; not dominate. Most of our best input goes into creating wines with texture and long life.”

His winemaking focus, however, is not only on producing a collection of the highly finessed, elegant blends sourced from the best fruit around the region, such as those in the Swinging Bridge Winemaker and Selector Series, but to push into previously uncharted territory with his Hashtag Series.
