Sauvignon blanc is probably the world’s most popular white wine, especially in its brightly fruity expression.

The Flowstone Sauvignon Blanc harks back to a more palate focused wine, free of the nervy pressures of immediacy, and allowing the variety to express itself in a more textural manner.

The inspirations behind this wine are more from the old home of sauvignon blanc than the new.

About Flowstone

Flowstone is born from a culmination of Stuart Pym’s rich winemaking experience and Phil Giglia’s passion for great wine.

Stuart’s winemaking career commenced more than 30 years ago when he moved to Margaret River to help his parents produce with their new wine label Sussex Vale. This vineyard has since become the well-respected Hayshed Hill.

His winemaking experience includes some of Margaret River’s best loved names including Voyager Estate (1991-2000), Devil’s Lair (2000-2008) and Stella Bella (2008-2013). Stuart also worked at Matilda Bay Brewing Company during the peak of their success in the late ’80s and was responsible for several vintages abroad and on Australia’s east coast.

With his partner Janice, Stuart started Suckfizzle in 1996 and Stella Bella in 1999. In 2013 he handed over the Stella Bella winemaking reins and moved to flowstone in a permanent capacity, completing the 30-year family involvement in winemaking.

Stuart and Phil first met, appropriately, at a Margaret River Great Estates lunch in the late ’90s where a joint passion for wine and a firm friendship was born. Ten years later they created flowstone and the first vines were planted in 2004.

While studying at the University of Western Australia, Phil was introduced to the University Wine Club and his love for the drop began. Work at the George Street Cellars in the late 1980s gave him an appreciation for the breadth of world wine and the myriad of styles and stories it contains. It also enabled him to be in close range off the bottles he would never be able to afford! Phil is now a confirmed wine tragic – which is not a bad thing at all.
