The other 50% was whole bunched pressed and fermented in older French oak. Both parcels were batonnaged for a month after primary fermentation and then left on the lees till blending took place 10 months later. Bottling took place at the end of January 2023.

TASTING NOTES

Combining skin and barrel-fermented components, with wild yeasts adding yet another dimension, this wine is showing incredible elderflower intensity, aromatic spices, hints of black currant and passion fruit with ever so subtle herbal nuances expressing the cooler climate origin. The underlying minerality adds depth to this beautifully expressive Sauvignon Blanc, layered with incredible texture and mouthwatering acidity.
