Cut grass with a hint of passionfruit and a racy lemony finish, this certified organic sauvignon blanc is a sophisticated Savvy just made for drinking as an aperitif or serving with creamy cheeses.

Early picking is the key to making this wine to keep a hold on the delicate aromas of the variety, so they are not lost between vine and bottle. Joch applies his kid gloves too when it comes to making the wine, which would be a sight for sore eyes if it weren’t simply a turn of phrase. The grapes are gently pressed and then cool fermented in stainless steel. There is no time in oak, although the wine does sit on its lees for a while to develop some complexity and weight.

ABOUT BATTLE OF BOSWORTH - ORGANIC WINES

Battle of Bosworth (and Spring Seed Wine Co) makes organically grown and certified wines from family vineyards located near the township of Willunga in McLaren Vale, South Australia. The brand was established in 2001 by Joch Bosworth and Louise Hemsley-Smith, and makes wine using vineyards planted in the 1970’s by Joch’s parents. Battle of Bosworth takes its name from the original Battle of Bosworth, fought on Bosworth Field, Leicestershire, England in 1485. The Spring Seed wines are also made from our organically grown grapes. The labels for these wines were inspired by turn of the last century flower seed packets.

Owned and run by Joch Bosworth (viticulture and winemaking) and partner Louise Hemsley-Smith (sales and marketing), this winery takes its name from the battle that ended the War of the Roses, fought on Bosworth Field in 1485. The vineyards were established in the early '70s in the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The vines are fully certified A-grade organic. Shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay account for 75% of the plantings. The Spring Seed Wine Co wines are made from estate vineyards. - JAMES HALLIDAY
