Engine Room Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2015
About the wine
This should be your summer fling! Fresh, zippy and laced with tropical fruits.
- Widely predicted to be one of the best vintages the Adelaide Hills has seen in over a decade, the 2015 growing season saw relatively dry conditions, allowing the vines to develop without the threat of disease. These conditions continued on throughout the ripening period, with warm days and cool nights allowing outstanding fruit development.
- While the glass shows colours of pale straw with subtle green hues the aromas of tropical fruit and citrus abound, while hints of freshly cut grass delicately poke through.
- The palate brings you a burst of attractive tropical fruit combined with a delightfully crisp acidity gives the wine a lingering, yet refreshing, finish.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Hamish Maguire
- Hamish was born into a respected winemaking family and raised among the McLaren Vale vineyards. His passion for the industry isn’t just down to family ties though, vintages in traditional wineries in Europe sealed his grape-induced fate.
- Hamish's 'day job' is overseeing his successful family business — a much respected and awarded Mclaren Vale winery. But he's a visionary and a rebel at heart, so in 2012, he joined the Naked Wines family to make Angels his ‘passion’ wines — Engine Room.
- His Engine Room wines are a product of imagination and a willingness to be different. These skillful blends of traditional with ‘alternative’ varieties, coupled with Angel backing, gives Hamish a creative outlet from the typical winemaking of the region to create something new and exciting. And it's made him one of our most popular winemakers in the process!
