2018 SAUVIGNON BLANC
Winemaking The grapes were picked during the cool of the night, de-stemmed and pumped into the press. Only the best quality free run juice was taken off, cold settled then later racked to ferment. The ferment was carried out with selected yeast to enhance the Sauvignon Blanc varietal characters. Post fermentation, the wine was stabilised, clarified and bottled.
The Wine Light green showing lifted tropical fruit aromas with flavours of kiwi and passionfruit; an easy drinking zesty style to enjoy on any occasion.
River Retreat Sauvignon Blanc is delicious with seafood and light chicken dishes. Vegan Friendly.

Trentham is a small boutique winery located on the banks of the Murray River. It produces wines of outstanding value for money with great varietal fruit flavours.
The first winery in the region was established in the 1880s by W.B. Chaffey (Mildura Wine Co at Merbein). Today there are around nine/ten wineries in this region. This may not sound so many for a large area, but they are some of the largest wineries and their production is enormous. References such as: ‘the industrial heartland of Australian wine production’, ‘the powerhouse of the Australian wine industry’ are often used to describe this region wine production. The climate is continental; hot and dry with low rainfall making it a relatively fungus disease free region thus reducing the risk for such large-scale production. The main wine styles: Chardonnay, Semillon.
Originating from the Loire Valley in France, this grape produces distinct crisp and dry styled wines. The characteristics typically citrus fruits, gooseberry, passion fruit. This grape is best for cooler climates, the Adelaide Hills being a premier region.
