Tasting Notes

Fresh and vibrant with zesty citrus skin notes and lemon blossom, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc offers aromas of lime candy and sea spray. Medium-bodied and with 13.6% alcohol, the wine is beautifully balanced, expressing a harmonious palate with flavors of rocky flint, crunchy citrus and herbs before offering a soft, nutty expression over the citrus-laced finish. Nicely done!

Score: 90

Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2023 - 2031 29 December 2023

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc comes from 42 vineyard parcels and undergoes an 80% wild ferment so that some take up to two months to finish, aged 5% in barrel and six months on the gross lees. The intense nose has bruised apple, nettle, lime and light orange pith scents. I can imagine this having wide appeal. The palate has quite a tropical-tinged opening with touches of mango and pineapple, yet the "Savvy" DNA still comes through, and there is admirable bite on the finish. Delicious.

Honeydew, white peaches and fresh herbs on the nose followed through to a medium body with bright acidity. Vivid with volume on the mid-palate and a flavorful, focused finish. Drink now. Screw cap.
