Hello

Welcome to the September edition of e-vents@woollaston.

What a wonderful feeling, it seems as though winter is over and spring is here already! The grapevines will soon spring to life with bud-burst due in a few weeks, as do our newly released wines at this time of the year. The 2010 Woollaston Sauvignon Blanc is fresh, lively and vibrant and available now at the Cellar Door. This is a must-have Sauvignon for the cellar over summer, ideal with fresh seafood or as an aperitif.
