Lovely pale yellow colour with green tints. Citrus pith and florals on the nose with a clear Sauvignon Blanc lift. Initial flavours of citrus and melon, light cool palate at 11.5% alcohol. Grapefruit, finger lime and a zesty acidity adds to the structure. A perfect summer drink paired with a wide range of food.

Wine Profile
Vinification
We are fortunate enough to be able to process almost all of the grapes here in the Hunter Valley, enabling an extra level of winemaker
attention. This ensures the delicate grape aromas are preserved.
Fermentation in 100% stainless steel tanks.
Winemaker Comments
We’re quite proud to introduce this wine, the 32nd vintage of the blend. The label didn’t get the full Cricket Pitch livery until the 1995 vintage, although the Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot was labelled as Cricket Pitch for the 1991 vintage.
This wine is a blend of 67% Sauvignon Blanc and 33% Semillon. Due to the challenging vintage in New South Wales, several regions make up this blend being Murray Darling, Hunter Valley, Margaret River, King Valley, Orange and Hilltops.
This wine also highlights our desire for lower alcohol and weighs in at 11.5% and with plenty of zesty fruit lift.
Food Pairing
A perfect Summer drink to pair with a wide range of foods. Enjoy with a dozen freshly shucked oysters and a whole baked barramundi for lunch, or a spicy Asian laksa for dinner.
Drink
An easy drinking wine to chill and enjoy this summer.
