2022 10X Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc
2022 10X Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc
Lime and barley combined with hints of fennel lift and drive the nose on this savoury Sauvignon Blanc. The palate unwinds and lends itself to honeydew and bay leaf together with pithy phenolics and a crunch of acid on the finish.

Other Notes
The 2022 season started with a very wet and variable spring, resulting in poor flowering, small bunches and reduced yields across many sites. However, the exceptional summer and autumn months to follow provided perfect ripening conditions that generated great .concentration and striking flavours across all
