Shannon
At Shannon Vineyards our focus on viticulture principles reflects our commitment to winemaking as an expression of terroir. Making fine wines is our ongoing aspiration and to that end we have assembled a talented team who share our passion. Our grapes come from exceptional mountain hillside vineyards above the banks of the Peninsula Dam in the Elgin Valley. These unique vineyard sites combined with the highly experienced viticultural team of Kevin Watt and James Downes and a winemaking philosophy of minimal intervention followed by the winemakers Gordon Johnson and Nadia Cilliers produce wines with distinctive personalities. Each wine has a sense of place. They are seductive and memorable for their complexity structure and elegance.
Description
A refined cool‑climate Sauvignon Blanc with bright, flinty mineral intensity and ripe green fruit. Exhibits zesty citrus, asparagus and green pepper blossom on the nose, transitioning to juicy lime and grapefruit with a touch of passionfruit mid-palate. The clay-rich soils impart a rounded, broad texture. Beneath it lies elegant minerality and a subtle flintiness, finishing crisp and refreshingly dry.
Food Pairing
Ideal with chilled seafood appetizers—think oysters, scallops and prawns—thanks to its citrus-driven acidity and minerality. Also a stellar match with fresh goat’s cheese, green asparagus salad, grilled vegetables, and herb-led dishes like tarragon chicken or fennel and parsley salads. Works beautifully alongside creamy beurre blanc sauces.
