Barrel-fermented, this full-bodied wine has fresh acidity and generous, ripely herbal, slightly nutty flavours. It’s a distinctly cool-climate expression of sauvignon blanc, showing considerable complexity. $30

Fresh, ageworthy wine, barrel-fermented with indigenous yeasts. Vibrant and youthful, with peachy, slightly mealy and toasty flavours, showing good complexity, and a slightly buttery, dry, lingering finish. $30

This is an elegant, tightly structured wine. Barrel-fermented, it is medium to full-bodied, with vibrant, citrusy, slightly buttery flavours, good acid spine, and mealy, biscuity notes adding complexity. Drink now or cellar. $30
