Tasting Notes
Primarily from a 1996 planting, mixed clay over limestone soils. Organically farmed with certification from vintage 2021 onward.
The wine was crushed and briefly left on skins, prior to being pressed and racked to tank for temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel. After fermentation the wine was racked to old barrels for an 8 month maturation on lees prior to bottling.
The aromas on offer from 2021 are distinctly Sauvignon Blanc, with lemon, passionfruit, papaya, tomato leaf and blackcurrant layers, but on the palate the texture is waxy, rich and complex. Flavours of exotic fruits still present but there is a herbal and grassy savouriness to the wine, as well as some serious grip and pucker on the palate which insists upon it's integrity as a gastronomic wine and is no slouch in terms of potential for food and wine pairing.
