Sauvignon Blanc - but not as you know it!
The grapes are hand-picked early and air-dried, before being wild fermented 'on skins'. The remaining grapes are basket pressed and wild-fermented in old French oak, stainless steel and a concrete egg. These batches are then combined and lees stirred occasionally for 7 months, prior to bottling cloudy to maintain a nice orange hue.
The resulting wine is reminiscent of a traditional tropical-fruit forward SB, but textural with added characters of blackcurrant flower, mandarin and Morrocan spice.
- Varietals: Sauvignon Blanc
- Region: Margaret River, WA
- Vintage: 2022
- ABV: 13%
- Size: 750ml
