Description Charleston in Adelaide Hills is the location of Howard Vineyard's rolling 36-hectare Beautiful Valley Vineyard. They grow a many varietals here, but their best Sauvignon Blanc comes from 'Block Q'. The cool nights lock in great natural acidity and the warm days give lovely slow ripening conditions, all making the fruit vibrant and fresh. Howard Vineyard have crafted it into an attractive single vineyard wine – all free run juice, cold fermented. Ned Goodwin MW in Halliday Wine Companion notes its “ length and lingering succulence... 91pts. Great Value" and in The Real Review, Stuart Knox calls it "A very refreshing and classic example of the variety... 90pts”.
