Sauvignon Blanc 2022

VINTAGE A mildly warm growing season with abundant fruit, leading to a mild autumn with ideal ripeness.

VINIFICACION 87% fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel. 13% barrel fermented and aged for 4 months in Seguin Moreau "Fraîcheur" barrels (300L barrels with oak staves and acacia heads).

AROMA Bright and citrusy with aromas of grapefruit, pineapple, lemongrass, apple blossom and lime.

TASTE Brisk and refreshing with pineapple, grapefruit, orange zest, honeydew melon, lemon curd, green apple, white flower and fresh herbs.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES This is only the second vintage of our Sauvignon Blanc, a project that has been years in the making. We have carefully selected a small assortment of small, hand farmed, complementary vineyards from which to source just the right components of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Most of the juice is fermented in stainless steel, while 20% is fermented in large capacity Seguin Moreau “Fraîcheur” barrels that were specifically designed for white Bordeaux. The barrel fermentation lends some richness and density to the wine, while the stainless portion provides ample briskness and vibrancy.

Our Sauvignon Blanc is deliciously zesty with bright fruits and green herb characteristics, yet has an underlying richness resulting in a wine of medium body and substance. It is a delightful aperitif and will pair well with seafood and salads.
