- Dom Smith moved from Mount Gambier to Melbourne to study teaching, but couldn't get wine out of his mind. A move to Adelaide, some vintage experience and a dream - Slow Lane was born. This Sauvignon Blanc is made from grapes from a soon-to-be certified organic vineyard in the Mt Torrens area of the Adelaide Hills. Left on skins for between 10 and 19 days (in a few different fermenters), the wine was then pressed into old French oak and rested for 10 months to mature. This is a beautiful skinsy Savvy B with a fresh acidity and minerality. There's some gorgeous fruit notes in here too, even a touch of tropicality that you might expect from a Hills Sav, but this isn't overwhelming since the key here is balance, and Dom has nailed it!
