Penfolds Cellar Reserve wines are alternative, limited release wines that explore the innovative boundaries of viticulture, vinification and style.
Cellar Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from a single-vineyard in the cool-climate region of the Adelaide Hills. Indigenous yeast and the use of French oak has created a Sauvignon Blanc that overtly eschews the typical ‘fruit forward’ Australian style. This wine is at once both complex and intriguing.

Pale gold.
Vibrancy and freshness court via exotic fruits – feijoa, green papaya and passionfruit pulp.
Spicy, textural and complex phenolics achieved via diligent lees stirring. Definitive structure and background wood spice provide a suggestion of oak tenure. Feijoa, green papaya and curry leaf provide the integral link between nose and palate.
Above-average winter and spring rainfall offered the vines in the Adelaide Hills healthy soil moisture profiles for the growing season. Cool days and cooler nights slowed vine growth in early-spring with temperatures warming in October. A mild and mostly dry start to summer was followed by two significant rain events in February. The lower than average temperatures and abundant rainfall during the growing season and veraison slowed vintage and challenged both winemakers and viticulturists alike. Consequent slower ripening translated into longer hang time on the vine and beautiful flavour development.
