  • Sauv Blanc Review

    "Yes, there’s a touch of colour, an amber-gold, and appealing chewy phenolics because this is fermented wild in French oak foudres and puncheons, with a portion of skin-contact. This creates all that texture and grip and interest. It’s not a fruity, tropical, boring drink, it’s complex, smokin’ and an excellent food wine. It’s all savoury, and more about the palate with raw quince tannins, dabs of spice, crisp acidity and finishes very dry. Sure, it’s not for everyone, just more for me then."

MAKING
SAUVIGNON BLANC
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 low yielding, high quality Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc. The portion of full skins fermentation at 35% is a clear influence 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 mostly older, large format French oak for 12 months before blending, followed by a further three months to harmonise and refine before bottling.
