From the 2024 vintage Riverby have put together a very classy, elegant wine. It hints at all those Sauvignon Blanc buzzwords - the elderflower, gooseberry and more tropical mango - but a talcum perfume and delightful peach down finesse comes through most strongly. Through the mid-palate more of that juicy, ripe and mouthwatering stone fruit and a fine and creamy texture. Just 3.8 grams of residual sugar help broaden the finish, but not at the expense of freshness as the acid zips through. The best Sauvignon Blanc yet from Riverby? Just delicious. Tom Cannavan 2025
