Review/Comments

This unusually elegant, complex and ageworthy sauvignon blanc was mostly fermented with indigenous yeasts in old French barriques, transferred out of oak prior to the next harvest, lees-matured for another eight months, and finally bottled in January 2019. It has a complex, still youthful bouquet, leading into a delicious, multi-layered wine, sweet-fruited and tightly structured, with highly impressive depth, complexity and harmony. $38 (A, UK, US)
