Wine Composition
90% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Semillion
Winemakers Comments
A refined, refreshing and cumbersome palate, beautifully lifted aromatics with a dance of dried flowers, light white peach, and a touch of exotic fruits. The dry and full-bodied palate evolves into uplifting citrus notes, leaving a refreshing but weighted mouth with great vigor and persistence from start to finish. A harmonious expression of Sauvignon Blanc, reminiscent of a truly mouth-watering graves with class and composure.

Winemakers Notes
Such purity in the fruit allowed for an extended cold maceration to extract the wonderful flavors. After gentle pressing the must was transferred into 500 lt French oak puncheons (30% new) where the wild yeast fermentation naturally started. The wine was then left on the lees with regular stirring to provide silkiness, complexity and depth and had time to mature over 15 months before we bottled this nectar. This wine is not cold stabilized and is unfined with only light filtration to retain the beautiful aromas with a low sulfur addition. Natural sediments may show but do not impact on the high quality of this natural wine.
