Whipbird Sauvignon Blanc 2024 pugnitello PALATEThe first impression of theWhipbird is a new brand from the Oatley Family, with guru winemaker Larry Cherubino at the helm, and focusses on the best variety region synergy. Bright pale straw. Fresh grassy lift over lemon and gooseberry. Sweet entry to a fleshy palate, with good varietal flavour and intensity, notes of peach, white pineapple, passionfruit and guava, and a juicy, flavoursome finish.
