Chain of Ponds Black Thursday Sauvignon Blanc 2015
Adelaide Hills is stunning, produces excellent quality nearly every year and is a little quite at promoting itself as a truly premier region for aromatic whites.
This little beauty has over the last 4 years picked up 4 gold medals and 1 silver medal alongside 94 points from Halliday twice, these guys have simply got it spot on!
This is an absolute corker - Intensely aromatic freshly cut tropical melon, lychee and paw paw, all integrated with freshly squeezed lime juice with hints of lemon myrtle, gooseberry and cucumber. Lush fruit driven palate, balanced acidity and fresh tropical flavours are integrated well with green apple and melon notes. Soft, rounded fruit sweetness integrated with a hint of spiced apple on the finish gives great length and persistence.
Awards and Accolades
Previos Vintages
2014: 94 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion: "There is an incisive mouthfeel, part due to 8% semillon, the flavours running from lemongrass and snow pea through to stone fruit/tropical, all this achieved in a fluid, seamless line. Great value."
GOLD - Royal Melbourne Wine Show 2014 GOLD - Royal Sydney Wine Show 2014
From the Winery
The heart and soul of the Pond Series, 'Black Thursday' Sauvignon Blanc has consistently delivered a wine of outstanding value and quality. It derives its name from the Black Thursday bushfire in 1991 when the vineyard saved the local township.
Black Thursday was launched in 1996 and has quickly become Chain of Ponds biggest selling wine. The Adelaide Hills Wine Region is indisputably Australia’s premium region for growing Sauvignon Blanc and for good reason.
