Tasting Notes:

Deep straw with a green tinge. An enticing perfume reminiscent of pistachio ice cream. Complex floral, citrus, spice, and herbal tones intermingle with a delicate custard base. Though fitting comfortably within the preserved lemon and lavender spectrum, hints of savoury thyme and dry forest floor add intrigue. A luscious, yet soft body with delicate creamy texture, and light, drying tannins. The fresh entry carries slowly to a perfumed finish with hints of lavender and pistachio.

Technical:

A new style of Sauvignon Blanc for Margaret River. We worked on making a more luscious, enjoyable style from our best fruit using our own approach. Refined winemaking techniques, in particular a focus on wild fermentation, have better captured our version of a more delicious sense of place, highlighting the exciting complexities of the powerful, aromatic, and savoury elements of Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc. The portion of full skins fermentation is very clearly an influence at a higher percentage this year. This represents a further evolution of style, bringing a darker colour and deeper, riper-looking fruit implication, adding incredible texture and structure to the palate. The wine was allowed to develop in beautiful, mostly older, large format French oak for 11 months before blending, followed by a further 4 months to harmonise and refine before bottling. From a much cooler season, this is a fresher, more perfumed and elegant Sauvignon Blanc.

Accolades & Awards:

95 Point Rated - Jane Faulkner James Halliday Wine Companion
"Serious sauv blanc that’s seriously good, but not as you know it. Wild fermentation in French oak foudres and puncheons with some skin contact. The result is a structured, savoury wine with an absence of overt tropical flavours – very pleasing as a result. Instead, phenolics add shape and mouthfeel while textural talc-like acidity ensures this remains refreshing. It is complex, flavoursome and moreish."

92 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review
"A fuller yellow colour, seemingly forward-developed, but the nutty aromas indicate barrel fermentation. The wine is dry, soft and rounded, texturally reflecting barrel use, just a little lacking in vitality. There's a touch of chew from retained phenolics. Varietal character is of secondary interest. A savvy with texture and substance."
