Description
Bright and light in appearance. The nose abounds with aromas of lemon, white peach and nectarine, a wet stone minerality follows. A broad spectrum of intense flavours from tropical fruit to herbal notes with a bold minerality. The palate is textured and distinct with a well balanced acidity. An elevated expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Fresh and lively, the wine concludes with a punctuated and long crisp finish.

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc comes from 42 vineyard parcels and undergoes an 80% wild ferment so that some take up to two months to finish, aged 5% in barrel and six months on the gross lees. The intense nose has bruised apple, nettle, lime and light orange pith scents. I can imagine this having wide appeal. The palate has quite a tropical-tinged opening with touches of mango and pineapple, yet the “Savvy” DNA still comes through, and there is admirable bite on the finish. Delicious.

Fresh and vibrant with zesty citrus skin notes and lemon blossom, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc offers aromas of lime candy and sea spray. Medium-bodied and with 13.6% alcohol, the wine is beautifully balanced, expressing a harmonious palate with flavors of rocky flint, crunchy citrus and herbs before offering a soft, nutty expression over the citrus-laced finish. Nicely done!

There’s a subtle plumpness to this tangy white, with a light, toasty edge to the flavors of baked apricot and orange curd. Hints of flint and herbs play on the finish. Drink now. 10,000 cases imported.
