Vintage: 2022
Varietals: Sauvignon Blanc
Farming: Organic
Malolactic fermentation followed in barrel with lees stirring and the result is a fresh, soft, round, floral scented Sauvignon with the elderflower and various citrus fruits supported by a backbone of fresh acidity.
A very rare creation from Marlborough being wild fermented, 100% malolactic and only receiving a touch of sulphur at bottling. Old vines and silty soils (rather than gravels) ensure there is a talcy texture. A long 3 month ferment, malolactic and being raised in 35 year old puncheons means the fruit isn’t high-toned and the acids aren’t shouting.
