Peewit Sauvignon Gris is an exceptional, aromatic white wine that offers a sophisticated twist on the classic Sauvignon Blanc. A pink-skinned mutation of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris combines the bright, zesty freshness you expect with a richer, rounder texture and enticing floral complexity. Sourced from carefully tended vineyards, this bottle showcases a perfect harmony between vibrant acidity and luxurious mouthfeel.
Tasting Notes & Style
Gently pressed to preserve its aromatic purity and stone-fruit character, this white wine delivers an expressive, multi-layered profile:
- The Nose: Vibrant and fragrant, opening with lush notes of ripe white peach, passionfruit, pink grapefruit, and delicate elderflower.
- The Palate: Beautifully textured and medium-bodied. A subtle, silky weight coats the mouth, perfectly balanced by a crisp beam of citrus acidity and tropical fruit flavors.
- The Finish: Dry, elegant, and persistent, with a lingering mineral freshness and a touch of stone-fruit richness.

Press, Reviews & Awards
- Highly Commended Wine Merchant Top 100, 2026: "Great pepper, grapefruit, citrus, tropical fruit; nice acidity and balance."
- Silver Medal - London Wine Competition 2026.
- Brian Elliott, MidWeek Wines, August 2025: "An exceptional white from SW France. We are accustomed to that region using less familiar grapes but, even there, sauvignon gris is not grown widely. Despite that rarity, this is impressive wine (from Gascogne incidentally) bringing us striking and fresh white currant, greengage and apple flavours. These are neatly supported by zesty acidity within a creamy texture that also displays nectarine traces."
- Gold Medal - Berliner Wine Trophy, 2025.
- Wine Merchant Magazine, August 2025: "The formula is simple: a clean, uncomplicated but very enjoyable wine with gorgeous packaging and a duty-friendly ABV"
- Jancisrobinson.com, 2025, 15.5 points: "Pear, peach and a little smudge of blackcurrant and blackcurrant bud. Lively lime-zest acidity. Gluggable, especially at that price! (TC)"
