A floral and herbaceous bouquet with a splash of tropical fruit, gently oaked and faintly smoky (fumé) characters. Vibrant fruit on the palate through the finish. Long and textured.
Gently cold pressed and fermentation completed in specifically chosen Nevers' barriques from a renowned Sancerre's cooper. The wine is matued on its lees for 8 months, where it gets its particularity and smoky character. The result is a very elegant and unique flinty style with long texture. A gentle cross flow filtration is preferred prior to bottling to retain its flavour.
91 Point Rated James Halliday Australian Wine Companion
"An interesting example of the way some barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blancs can develop. Vivid green-yellow colour heralds a gently citrussy palate, nuances of honey and toast running alongside the fruit."
