Nose

Bold aromas of red currant, passion fruit and orange blossom laced with exotic notes of lychee and clove.

Palate

A creamy mouth filling palate delights the senses with an unexpected richness and depth of flavour.

Growing Conditions

Sauvignon Blanc is well adapted to our gravelly soils and maritime climate. The fruit is from the cooler southern end of Margaret River, which is renowned for its fragrant white wines.

A dry and sun-drenched summer in 2020 led to fantastic fertility, perfectly moderated by a mild winter and a long cool spring. A hot and dry start to summer led to beautiful vine growth, followed by a cool ripening season with sporadic summer rains. The resultant wines are characterised by intense aromatics, coating natural acidity, and ultra-fine tannin and tension.

Harvest

Winemaking

Fermentation and maturation in 500L French oak puncheons allows a gentle ingress of oak elements, while preserving freshness. Sauvage remains on its yeast sediment “sur lie” during maturation, This process of yeast cell breakdown adds depth and richness to the palate.

Aging

1/3 new 500L French oak puncheons for 10 months. The wood is primarily from the Vosges and Allier forests.
