Product Description:

Cool climate precision with effortless freshness. The 42 Degrees South Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a pure expression of Tasmania’s latitude and light, produced by Frogmore Creek in the Coal River Valley. This region sits just north of Hobart, where cool maritime air and long ripening create wines of structure and clarity. The 2024 vintage brought a balanced growing season with steady rainfall through winter, a warm and dry summer, and mild conditions leading into harvest, delivering fruit with concentration and finely tuned acidity.

Made entirely from hand selected Sauvignon Blanc, the fruit was harvested in the early hours to preserve aromatics, then gently pressed and cool fermented at 18 to 20 degrees Celsius in stainless steel. The wine rested on lees for eight weeks to build texture and a subtle savoury edge before bottling. This process creates a wine that feels sleek and lively, with aromatic precision and a mineral backbone that reflects Tasmania’s cool maritime soils.

The 42 Degrees South range represents Frogmore Creek’s modern and fruit driven approach, wines that showcase place, purity and balance rather than embellishment. This Sauvignon Blanc is built for freshness yet carries enough weight and depth to suit a variety of foods and occasions, from coastal dining to relaxed afternoon drinking.
