2019 Avani "Amrit" Sauvignon Blanc

Avani is a Sanskrit word that means ‘the earth’ and is also a boutique winery that produces premium cool-climate wines on the Mornington Peninsula; wines of character which best express their site and growing season. 

Avani owner Shashi Singh and her husband Devendra have been involved in the hospitality industry (owning and operating restaurants) on the Mornington Peninsula for the last 30 years. It was during this time that Shashi’s interest in wine was first sparked and subsequently culminated with the purchase of an established vineyard in 1998. It's also worth noting that she spent several years at Bass Phillip winery where she learned a great deal about biodynamic farming along with her mentor Phillip Jones. 

 

Why do we like it?

The wines are made using indigenous yeast ferments, no fining, no filtration, and minimal sulphur, so it's absolutely worth noting that a lot of hard work goes into making these wines. The 2019 'Amrit' Sauvignon Blanc sees about 50% of skin maceration, giving the wine an extra dimension of flavour and texture. Intensely perfumed showing green pears, kiwi and savoury aromatic herbs with a persistent mineral finish that is reflective of the soils in the Mornington Peninsula. One of our favourite Sauvignon Blanc made in Australia!
